I have a female rabbit who is about 6mths old and last night i hand feed her a treat and she humped my hand! Her front legs wrapped around my wrist and she kept nipping me with her teeth.
I hav'nt turned her over to check her sex but is that normal behaviour?

Yes, perfectly normal for rabbits of both genders.

Have you considered getting her spayed and getting another rabbit? All six of mine are neutered and in pairs (two male/female pairings and one male/male (brothers)). They love having the company of another rabbit providing you get the right match.

Lots of buns in rescue needing homes wink
I know it sounds selfish but would rather just have the one for now as only have an indoor cage for her and also she runs around like billy beans and makes such a noise at night,she's the best pet iv've ever had (apart from my dog)and just seems to calm me when i give her strokes (apart from when she ran off with my smokey bacon crisps as it was the crinkly bag she was interested in).

You could get her a soft toy to hump smile
Found a soft toy in the shape of a bananna and she loves it as its as big as her,Are there any complcations with having her spayed and would anyone know the rough cost?
