Questions about my lionhead bunny

Question
Hi.  I have a few questions about my bunny that I hope you can answer.  My Lionhead, Ashanti, sometimes has poop caked down there.  Why does this happen?  She pees everytime she gets on my futon.  Why does she do that?  She runs from me when I try to pick her up when she is out and she bites and growls at me when I reach into her cage to take her out.  Why does she do that?  When we are sitting together, she will come over and bite me all the time.  Why does she do that?  Ashanti is very ill tempered and I think she hates me.  She's just like her sister.  Also, I just bred her for the first time this past Monday evening.  What kind of prenatal care should I be administering?  Where can I get this 'nestbox' that I hear about?  I hope you can help me.  Thanks in advance!

Answer
hi heather -she probably will settle down now she has been mated but she will still be grumpy while she is pregnant
biting etc usually means she wants mating but you have done this
nest boxes we normally make our own and fill it with hay so they can make a nest if she lives indoors get her a large box and fill it with hay when she is about 27 days on from mating i dont have this problem as mine all live in cages in a large shed.
