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.
Seeds and nuts are not good for rabbits, including sunflower kernels. Rabbits enjoy some kinds of seeds and nuts, but they are high in fats that aren't good for them; and some kinds are toxic for rabbits!
It is only reasonable to think that anything salted would be bad for your rabbit. As a general rule, stick to natural foods with nothing added, and foods that are sold and made specifically for rabbits -- do not give them your own tasty "human" treats.
Rabbits should eat a diet of mostly hay, with some high-quality pellets and fresh dark leafy greens daily. "Treats" should be offered sparingly. A bad diet is very unhealthy for rabbits and leads to all kinds of different illnesses.

Rabbits don't need a salt lick because they get all the minerals they need from their pellets. A salt lick probably won't hurt your rabbit, but it's completely unnecessary so long as you're feeding your bunny appropriate portions of high-quality rabbit pellets. See the related question below for more info about a healthy rabbit diet.
They do like them but they dont need them.
Rabbits get all the minerals and vitamins they need from their (high-quality) pellets. (That's what salt blocks are: minerals - only a bit of salt.) Most rabbits would ignore a salt block. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.
they dont eat salt they gnaw on salt sticks so they can keep there teeth trimmed
No, actually you can buy specially made salt licks for your pet rabbit. They need sodium in their body, but not too much!
Not yet. Baby rabbits (kits) are not old and mature enough to have salt licks. When they become mature, which is around six months, they can have salt licks.
A little salt is good for them but that will come in their food and don't ever feed it salt on its own.
rabbits have no concept of love, the rabbit is licking you because of the salt in the sweat you secret. naturally wanting electrolytes, the rabbit will continue to lick you.
if your horse has a salt lick avaliable(in its stable,stall,field,paddock etc) you dont have to feed it them!they will just lick the salt lick when they need it!
The salt lick i got was 4.50 but it depends on what brand or which store you get it from.
Probably because they have sea salt on them. The shells are a natural salt lick.
Hamsters need salt for the same reason we do, without it our nervous system could not function. It is not mandatory to have a salt lick or salt wheel for your hamster but it would be a good idea. Hamsters live in the wild where they get their minerals from plants and stuff. Hamsters can't always get minerals and the salt they need in their cage that's why its a good idea to get a salt lick or something for your hamster.
A salt spool is another name for a salt lick. Rabbits lick, bite, or chew this to absorb sodium in which they need.
A good rabbit pellet, a salt lick and water is all that is necessary. Occasional treats such as a carrot, apple slice, or cheerios are acceptable.

Good for livestock and wildlife, not for people.
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. See the related questions below for details.
