  My rabbit is a 1YO spayed hotot living in my room. It’s just her right now (I’m planning on trying to find a rabbit for her to bond with later in the year,) and every morning she will get too enthusiastic in grooming and start mounting my arm. I redirect her to a stuffed animal, but this is starting to happen daily. Are there ways to curb this aggression? I still have a scar from her pre-spay mounting.

  Her mounting sounds more of an “I love you”, so its not really aggression. My only suggestion would be to give her the stuffed animal right off the bat, or not to let her groom you until after shes calmed down a bit. How long ago was she spayed? Females can take up to six months to fully drain their hormones, and in that time they can also have hormonal spikes causing them to act out sexually or aggressively.
