  My Friday is almost a year old. She has always been happy, healthy and well provided for. She eats pellets, hay, treats and has been spayed since she was 4 months old. She gets let out in the morning and night time and is always running, jumping, and getting lots of love/pets. BUT lately as in overnight she has changed she tryed to hump my arm once and is pooping on the rug (she has been potty trained well and never does this)! She has also been begging for attention and nipping at my clothing, There is nothing abnormal that has been introduced into her life, same people, furnuture, and schedual. Whats going on? She is my first pet bunny and I have raised her since 4 weeks and I love her dearly but her behavior has changed a lot and im worried.
  
  I just let her out to run around and she flung her pee on me! she has never done that before!

  Hmm, that kind of sounds like hormonal behavior to me. Do you know what was taken out at her spay? Once in a while, vets will only take out the uterus during a spay (hysterectomy), which effectively prevents the bunny from breeding, but doesn’t take care of hormonal behaviors and health risks. What should be done instead is a ovohysterectomy, which includes removal of the uterus AND ovaries.

  I did ask when I got her fixed and they told me they take out both at the time of the surgery. I have done so much research online and everything she is doing are signs of an UN-neutered male, not my sweet little girl

  EDIT because I totally missed the part where she was spayed:
  
  Changes like this in a spayed rabbit could be the sign of a medical issue so a vet visit would be in order.

  Thank you, MoveDiagonally. I was hoping it would not be a medical issue but better safe than sorry

  Maybe is there a wild rabbit outside? or a change in weather?

  No wild rabbits. lots of kids in the apartment complex. Monsoon season just started up but the weather has not gotten too bad yet (she is strictly an indoor bunny as well if that makes a difference). the last two days I let her out there has been no spraying but she acts as if she was never trained to use the litter box (poop only, thank goodness).
