  Do you know what might be triggering Mocha to hump Lulu?
  
  I used to have a rabbit that humped her sister that she was bonded with when she got excited (usually about food or treats).

  It sounds like he was just excited.
  
  Lulu’s biting? I guess you can just try to ignore her or move away from her.

  Make the high pitched squeal of pain and turn away from her, thumping the floor with your hand. She may learn that biting is hurting you, and stop doing so.

  Monkeybun is right on target. And don’t worry – she’d want pets in a snowstorm on a roller coaster if she thought she could get you to do it. It’s a lifelong goal of bunnies to be petted.

  Unless their name is Monkey. Then it is a lifelong goal to sucker as many raisins out of whoever walks by as possible. With no touchies!

  It’s quite normal. My Deirdra nips me still, too.
  They are a new bond and Lulu is a female; females often nip for all kinds of reasons, more so than males.
  I bet the clicker training will help bond them more to you! I would work on the clicker training individually for this reason, so they get one-on-one with you.

  It is fine to split them up for clicker training sessions.
