Rabbits are prey animals and generally do not liked being picked upas it is seems to them they are being attacked by a hunter (like an eagle swooping down on them)so they naturally fight back. let your rabbit hop around in a small space and put dandelions or bits of treats like raw carrot pieces on and near your lap while you are sat nearby. Speak softly and your rabbit will come to you for the food, Initially it will grab the food and run away but in time you will be able to hand feed you bun without being bitten. Some rabbits progress to enjoy being stroked and love to hop on your lap, others(even those that have been neutered, prefer bunny company to humans.
I have one rabbit that loves to be stroked and would sit next to me all day like that and another who hates that type of attention but still can be hand fed. If you decide to get your rabbit a partner you will have to consider neutering. Ask around for a rabbit-savvy vet in your area-(post on here) if you decide on neutering.-Sue:wave:
