    It's a sign that your rabbit is sexually maturing and acting territorial. He's circling you in dominance, either in a sexual way or to show you he's boss over you. I'd get him neutered as soon as possible to stop the possible aggression coming.

    Grunting and circling is something a male will do to a female while trying to woe her. If you rabbit is a male, it may be confused and be trying to court you. Having him mated or neutered may fix this.

    This is sometimes an aggressive thing rabbits will do meaning they are about to bite you. if its not then its a sign of mating interest or affection

    Yerr, it probably thinks your leg is a female rabbit. Some male rabbits are more randy than others...had one that tried it's luck with a football once, was sooooo funny haha :)

    It means that your rabbit is quite happy to see you and would like to play. Here's a website with more info: muridae.com/rabbits/rabbittalk_play.html
