started biting at 4yrs

Hi
My bunny Broccoli has always been relatively well behaved. He is neutered and has livedin my current house for over a year. Is is usually very affectionate and sociable. He has access to the downstairs living area and gets to play in the garden a couple of times a week. In the last month my housemate has moved out and a new friend moved in. He has never previously had problems with a change in environment or with new ppl.
He has very recently started nipping at everyone’s hands and feet. At the weekend he nipped my friends little boy who he plays with frequently and I was forced to put him in his cage. He has always been one for getting under your feet but recently he has become very persistent and actually tries latching on to your arm or leg.
He is well trained and simply calling his name or a single clap gets him to stop doing what he is doing. Recently thsee attempts fall on deaf ears.
I need help! His nipping and persistent nudging and scratching at everyone are now more than just anti social. He has also started stamping his feet. Something he has never previously done

Has he had a check up by the vet to rule out any medical problems like dental problems, or anything else?
