Answer
Hi
 I know how you feel. It is distressing when this sort of things happens. I have the same thing with my rabbit that i love loads and it makes me feel worse because i have had her since a baby to. You have the right to be worried.

Remember rabbits are now getting into season. So they will get more tempered as the seanson goes on. and rabbits can be a bit like horses. They are fine 1 day but the next day they are totaly different.

My rabbit does the very same thing. She will grunt and scratch and bite sometimes. But all you have to do is tell her of. Also to calm her down just give her nose a rub. Rabbits love this. The more you rub your nose, you will soon see your rabbit be alot more happier about being picked up because she will look forward for her nose being rubed.

So just give her sometime. Its problay because she is in season. But dont let it stop you doing all the things you used to do with her. Still pick her up when ever you want.

I hope i have helped. Let me know if you need any help with anything else.

Good luck
