If a bunny has found a compfy safe place – aka you, that she wants to hang out in/on/around, then she could be trying to make a "scrape" – Their wild cousins do this – it’s where they dig down just a bit to relax above ground, but keep themselves directly out of site.
Some bunnies also do this for attention, so does she do it when you stop?
Also, some bunnies do it when they are done with being petted, and they want to leave, but haven’t figured out an exit strategy.
If a high pitched "eeee" doesn’t work (that how bunnies tell each other.."that hurts!"
, then give her some bunny language she can understand. Face her, and then turn your back to her, but keep looking back, so she knows she can still approach you. This may sound whacky, but this really is how rabbits communicate with each other. Check out http://www.paperglyphs.com/rabbits/rabbittalk.html for more rabbit language info.
