Shouting at her is not a solution.
Many girl buns are very territorial. Some get better once they’re out of puberty. Some stay territorial all their lives even if they are spayed.

My Yohio always attacked the broom when I was using it. He also attacked it when I didn’t use it. If I pet him on the head with the brush, he lowered his head to the ground and accepted being groomed. You could try that, although gently. I think my bun considered the broom a rival bun. When one bun grooms another bun it means the grooming bun has surrendered to the bun that gets groomed.

I also recognize that lunging. Yohio did that too. It got a lot better with time. He was neutered, but very young so he needed time to mature to get some sense into his head.

Don’t shout at your bun, it adds to her upsetness. You can tell her No biting your mama (or sth like that) in a calm voice though. Calm is good when you’re dealing with buns.

Sometimes even when i am on the ground and I let my hand out to hand-feed ger she lunges at it but when she realizes there is food or that it’s my hand she doesn’t bite or growl.
By the way she is not spayed and will not be cause where I live there is not a suitable vet and I am not risking her live by doing the surgery to someone who gives me 20% chances of her dying.

Then you’ll need to travel a bit to find a savvy vet. Leaving her unspayed is unacceptable – She will be at very high risk of developing cancer. 

Also, don’t shout at your bun.

Shouting screaming hitting or anything of that matter only scares your bunny more and makes her more territorial. I think your rabbit is showing you aggression because she is afraid of you. Whenever you are cleaning your room put her in her cage until you are done. For now don’t hand feed her anything. Just lay it in front of you so she will come and take it. Make sure when you approach her you do it from the sides of her head where her eyes are. Rabbits get scared when your hand is in front of their nose or forehead because they can’t see it. I don’t know much about territorial rabbits as mine is pretty chill but that’s some advice I can offer. Sit with her in a quiet area and kind of relax her and pet her gently.

Thank you very much! I know I am supposed to spay her but I live in an island and there is no possible way of me going to another island to spay her :/
As for the grooming part she never lets me touch her so I can’t even groom her
I will try not to shout at her but she has to realize that this isn’t an acceptable behavior….and I have to find a way to do this..

She’s a rabbit. She doesn’t understand your human definition of unacceptable behaviour. You have to teach her. Not by shouting or trying to punish her but by positive reinforcement of ‘acceptable’ behaviour. 

I meant you could try and groom her gently with the broom That’s what I did with my Yohio. If she charges at the broom you won’t get hurt because you’re at the other end of the stick I gently brushed my Yohio on the head with the broom.

You should make it clear to her that lunging and biting won’t get her what she wants. Because if she has success in chasing you away with a growl or lunge or boxing, the behaviour is rewarded and thereby reinforced. Could you perhaps wear thick-ish gardening gloves? Bunnies can learn things but they don’t have the natural aptitude to learn from humans like dogs do. So we have to be smarter than the bun and always try to see things from their perspective because they can’t see stuff from the human perspective.

My bunny Rain gave me such a hard time in the beginning that I almost decided to disown him. No kidding. Almost all of us have been to that level of frustration before with our bunnies. Especially the naughty young ones. This is literally the worst ages with rabbits as people above have said this is a girl rabbit going through puberty. Imagine how it is with people. Like sarahthegemini posted above bunnies learn through positive reinforcement. So whenever your bunny sits down and behaves calmly or is just minding her own business and not terrorizing her owner give her a little treat. This will show her that whenever she’s calm or nice she will be rewarded. You can even use classical music to calm her down. A lot of animals are greatly affected by music. Sit down with your bunny for a while and just talk to her gently with a calming voice. Some bunnies take out their anxiety by being aggressive. Try approaching your bunny with your head. Sometimes lay on the ground when you let her out so you can get down to her level. Rabbits are naturally curious and she will want to sniff every inch of you. She will climb over you and maybe sit on your chest. Sit down with her in her puppy pen. Refrain from touching her. After a while your bunny will begin to let down her guard. Doing this allows you both to learn how to share your space with each other. She will realize that she can share her area with you.

For the lunging I guess wear socks or really long pants for the time being. Or forget a gym membership and just dodge a bunnies attacks. A cute and cuddly and slightly scary excercise right?

Once your rabbit learns to trust you a bit more, for feet lunging, you need to help your rabbit realize that’s a part of your body. A lot of people forget a rabbit’s eyes will only focus where it wants, so many rabbits don’t know their owners arms are a part of the owners head, legs, etc.. getting down on your rabbits level when there’s some lunging may help, so you can let your rabbit know your feet are just you.

Rabbits really do love company, so if you can spend more time with her, by all means do. It will help you bond with each other ?

Cool! So happy to help! Let us know about improvements or non improvements. That way in the future others can know of these methods.

Yes, please keep us posted if you like!
