Friendly bunny turned attention biter

[Vibribunbun]

Hi,
Bit of back story-
I live with my parents and can only do the best I can.
The rabbits are not allowed inside (in future, an annex will allow housebunnies) and therefore I have given them best Hutches I can find.

I have asked many times but to no avail - I'm not allow to spay (unless for future annex, say it's too expensive).

One of my rabbits hates rabbits with a fiery passion. Even as a 8 week old, my dutch has severely hated other rabbits, viciously attacked my nethie and even her mate when In season. Even seeing them from afar sends her into a stamping fit. That was before adult hormones came into play.

But ironically, my dutch loves people, especially me.
She licks obsessively, honks excitedly when held, binkies, and happy "shake mini binky" when sees me.

But recently she has grown into an attention seeking manic. Before, she has been held and put in playpens regularly and petted daily.
But now, I only need to give her food or try to daily spot clean and she follows me trying to force her head to me to pet.
Obviously I can't pet if I'm busy scooping or placing bowls. So she gets inpatient and has started biting and digging at my arm or hand.
If my arm is next to her but not petting aswell.
Yet as soon as she finished she goes back to licking me and demanding attention.

I can't get her out in the morning on work days, she has loads of toys, pets and I can't find her due to reasons above.

How do I curb this behaviour?

Lastly, I need to be able to pick her up for vets, playpens, handling etc. But she gets bitey about that too. How can I stop that.
But that's less important, rabbits just hate picking up.
But this new attention attacking is frustrating.

It sounds like she's kind of bonded with you, so she wants to be with you for companionship, since she doesn't have a bunny friend as her buddy. Plus it sounds like she sees herself as the dominant rabbit. So she thinks she can demand grooming from you when she wants and you are supposed to oblige. So I would use safe but firm techniques that show a rabbit that you're the dominant bun in the house and not her. Also, I would use a crate or sectioned off area to scoot her to for a timeout when she does this unwanted behavior.

You also need to make sure you're not giving the wrong signals regarding rewarding her behavior. Such as giving pets/head rubs/treats when she's just done behavior you don't want to reinforce.

It would be better if you didn't pick her up except if absolutely necessary. So it's finding other ways to accomplish what you need to, like teaching her to load into a pet carrier so you can take her to the vet or move her to another area. And for nail trims, using a different method that doesn't involve picking up if at all possible.

Some rabbits can gradually be trained to accept being picked up, though I would still limit this as accidents can still happen when trying to carry a rabbit. And I certainly wouldn't recommend it if a rabbit struggles(could fall) and dislikes the experience, except when picking up is absolutely essential.
