sure, deer also like them, too.

No, rabbits shouldn't have salt licks. The purpose of salt licks is to ensure an appropriate balance of minerals in an animal's diet, but pet rabbits get all the minerals they need from their pellets. Make sure you feed your rabbit the right amounts of good, high-quality rabbit pellets, as well as lots and lots of grass hay (not alfalfa, unless the rabbit is a juvenile), and fresh leafy greens - they don't need salt licks.

Why do bunnies need salt licks?

Salt is an important mineral: all animals need it to survive. Theoretically, if a rabbit or any animal isn't getting enough salt in its diet, it will be attracted to salt and will want to lick it up. That said, I've never heard of a rabbit liking salt. Maybe you are asking about a salt lick? Salt licks don't actually have much salt in them: they're really a mix of different minerals. Again: if a rabbit isn't getting enough of the right minerals in its diet, it will be attracted to a salt lick. A rabbit eating a proper diet of lots of hay, water, and some high-quality pellets and fresh dark leafy greens, then it won't be attracted to salt. Extra salt isn't good for rabbits. If, for some reason, your rabbit likes salt, don't let her eat it. Just feed her a healthy balanced diet. But if your rabbit has an odd attraction to salt, bring her to the vet for a check-up: any unusual behaviour should lead to a check-up because it could be a sign of illness.
