  1. First off, if she isn't spayed that's your first step.  Unspayed females tend to have territorial aggression.  Also, they are very prone to reproductive cancers.  Spaying will significantly increase her life span.

    In my experience it's a matter of patience and persistence.  Make sure that your friends and family are interacting with her the way *she* likes.  So, have them get down at bunny level and not make any sudden moves towards her.  They can try offering her treats and just generally hanging around in the area she is in.  Never have them reach into her cage or try to pick her up unless she trusts them.

  2. Is she spayed?  If not, it will go a LONG way towards improving her attitude.  Female rabbits are extremely territorial and aggressive, often, if not spayed.  Plus, an unspayed female rabbit has an 85% chance of dying of reproductive cancer by the age of 5!  Spaying doubles their average lifespan, on average.  Once she's spayed, if she is still aggressive towards others a month or two after (take a while for the hormones to leave their bodies), they will have to be the ones doing the work to make her like them.  They should sit on the floor at her level and give her treats when she approaches.  They should not grab her or reach for her, just let her explore and give her treats.  With time, she will begin to see people in her space as a good thing.

  3. Baked, stuffed rabbit comes to mind.

    Everyone will just love her!
