Do you have a salt lick for your bunny. They need salt if you do not have one, then check into getting one. Perhaps she's biting to get salt from the skin?
If she's gnawing it could be out of boredome. Get something safe at the pet store for a rabbit to chew on.
My rabbit loved clover. You can always make a rabbit "play pen" outside. Talk to the local pet store for ideas on something safe for your rabbit. That way your bunny gets exercise and isn't quite as bored.
I don't suggest a squirt bottle though. Works on cats great, but not so sure it's for bunny's as the water may go into their ears. Ask a vet about that one to make sure.

I think you just have to slowly start to introduce her to people. Try having the person sit on the bed and the bunny in the middle of you and the person. Have the person wear gloves (just in case he gets bit) and pet the bunny as your talking to him, (the bunny). Also every time someone else picks him up give him a treat and pewt him a lot. After a while he will realize that whenever he gets picked up he will get a treat and he will be loved to be held.

Your bunny is bored and/or needs to be spayed/neutered. When rabbits reach sexual maturity they become territorial and aggressive. They are also protective of their "people" (a vet once told me that). I had a rabbit who hated my boyfriend when I first met him (should have paid attention to the rabbit) and the bunny would attack him whenever he got close. It took lots of treats and pets before he came around.
Your rabbit needs to be fixed, and he needs to get lots of attention. Keeping him in his cage forever will make the situation worse. He needs to get out and you need to play with him and give him affection. If you can't do that, you shouldn't have him. Rabbits are not the type of animal that can be left alone, as they thrive on attention and are a social animal. You can toys for your bunny that he can play with which also helps.
A really good resource for rabbit issues is the House Rabbit website: www.rabbit.org
