Teeth marks through a thick hoodie. My bunnie was actually attached to my arm and lifted off the ground when I pulled my arm back in pain! The rest of the 1 hour date was pretty uneventful and positive.
Had the same thing happen, except on my hand. Needed some stitches and I now have a lovely scar to remember my bunny by when we’re apart. The things we do for love
For context, the two females had a fight and went into a bunny tornado. I wasn’t thinking and reached my arm in as a barrier and I was bitten. A broom was in the same room, but I moved without thinking and paid the price.
My bunny was in no way acting aggressive towards me, she was engaged in combat with our other female.
We have done lots of research into how to bond individuals to pairs and overall it is going well (and slow). This fight was the first major setback.
The rescue that my husband and I have adopted from and support as often as we can, do bunny speed dating when your trying to find a partner for your bun. They use splatter screens. The buns can see and smell each other, but can’t get to the other. Saves your hands and arms from harm when they fight.

Get two heavy oven mitts.
Also check out the Georgia house rabbit society page. They have a fantastic PowerPoint that explains how to bond rabbits. It works really well.
oh gosh that looks really painful. get well soon OP
We keep water bottles in every room. Sometimes just reaching for it will make a bun stop in their tracks
Keep a really close eye on that. It may need medical attention.
Ooo, yeah, that looks painful.
Damn..man I’m glad that this never happened to me
Are they neutered/spayed?
Ow! I knew their claws could be dangerous but damn.
Wow! Those teeth are no joke 😅 I’m just glad my boy only nips. Hurts like a bitch for a few seconds but never breaks the skin.
Strange, even when I had to force feed my girl or bonded her with my cat she never once attacked me
