Answer 1

Number 1: ***NEVER, EVER!!!!!!!*****  HIT YOUR RABBIT!!!!!!!  ever!!!!!!  

Secondly, it might have felt threatened.  I don't know why.  Is your rabbit spayed/neutered?  If it isn't, you should get it spayed or neutered, trust me, it will somewhat improve their behavior- make them less aggressive & stuff.  Also try going to www.rabbit.org , and maybe they can help.

Answer 2

It sounds like it may be territorial aggression.  This can be reduced by spaying or neutering your rabbit.  Not only will you have a better behaved rabbit, but you're rabbit will also be healthier and likely live longer.

Answer 3

Idk, rabbits are odd creatures. I had one that bit a chunk out of my hand and i had to get stiches.

Answer 4

If your rabbit is female, sometimes their hormones can make them aggressive.
