She probably hates being handled and carried - like most buns do..

I would put her in a carrier to take her from a to b and give some nibbles to give her a good incentive

Both my females thump with there back legs one is also quite nervous and feisty, she tries to nip if i pick her up and she sometimes growls, if i sit with her she hops onto my lap and loves to have a cuddle - just shows aggression when being picked up, i always use a carrier now to take her to a seperate run in the garden and she is happy with this.

how old is she/he? is she neutered? if you squeal when she bites that will tell her it hurts in bunny language.

If you put his/her bum on the floor, so that they can't kick out and have a look between the legs, if it's a boy there should be two small lumps either side of the genitalia, for females there is only a small slit.. if you're not comfortable doing this I would check with the vets x
