  My 11 week old is chewing everything in sight. I can’t seem to figure out why. She also nips at my skin once in a while. It doesn’t seem angry or aggresive. She is an INCREDIBLY happy bunny. She is often giving me kisses and falling asleep on top of me while I pet her. Any idea why she could be chewing on everything and nipping? She doesn’t do this to my fiancé. She is provided plenty of timothy hay, alfalfa pellets, and less than a handful of alfalfa hay per day. She also has ping pong balls, wood toys, and a toilet paper roll. Any advice on how to stop this would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

  Bunnies need to chew to keep their teeth in perfect shape. Get her wooden toys or safe sticks. If she chews on something she shouldnt, redirect her with one of her chew toys There is no stopping it, its part of being a bunny.
  
  As for her nipping you, its one of two things: youre not doing something she wants you to do (move out of the way, pet her, talk to her, dont talk to her, ect depending on the situation), or she is just tasting to see if you are something she can chew on too
