I agree with that... 7 years I've had my rabbit and she's only recently stopped trying to bite me!!!

You tend to have to do everything on your rabbits terms really, I used to only stroke Meg when she was in the mood for a stroke - as soon as that mood changed I had to move my hand to cover. The beast - love her to bits though!

Just take your time and talk to her gently, she'll learn to trust you and understand what you are doing with time. It may be that she links being picked up with the vet at the moment as being spayed is propbably a big deal to a bunny

When the biting was really bad we used to use a towel. Just put it gently over her head and talk gently to her and lift her slowly. Keep a tight grip so she feels safe and bring her into your body when carrying. THis was always the least stressful when we had to pick Meg up.

Hope that helps
