Lily has bitten me a couple of times and then yesterday we were playing outside and my youngest daughter (15 months) put her finger through the bar on the 6ft run attatched to their hutch (litterally in a split second and I couldnt get there before she bit) and quick as a flash lily bit her finger and it was a nasty bite 
I did wonder at one point if it would need stitches as it bled for ages and ages and is really deep! Darcie wasnt making loads of noise or anything she was just looking through the bars and watching them.
I dont understand why she is biting? she is only young...roughly 4.5-5 months and isnt yet spayed. Whats strange about it is that she will hop over to you and just sink her teeth in...she doesnt act scared, doesnt back off etc..its not that Im trying to pick her up or anything like that :? she comes over of free will and bites... When she sees me coming she comes bouncing over to the door on the run all happy, up on back legs and circling and then BAM blood....
Any ideas why? do you think it will stop when she is spayed? Its a nightmare I have moved their hutch and run and swapped with poppy and daisy so they are furthest from the patio as I cant chance the kids getting bitten like that They know not to harrass the bunnies and never do anything to frighten them (like bashing the bars, crashing toys into them etc etc etc) and are really respectful of them...we never have a problem with poppy and daisy and my eldest two sit in their run with them and are really gentle playing with them (never picking up).
I wondered if she was being a bit territorial over the hutch/run but I cant stand in the run and change litter trays, bowls, sweep it out etc etc and she doesnt fuss at all...
