I've got a indoor rabbit. She's a Dutch Bunny and she's a good girl but lately she's been biting and snarling at my husband and I. She used to just up on the couch and watch TV with us and follow us around the house but now she runs away and tries to bite us. We haven't moved or hurt her in anyway. We've treated her the same way since day one. Any advice about what could cause these mood swings and what to do to cure them?

My guess is that she has hit puberty and needs to be spayed. Female rabbits can get territorial as they mature and you'll find that her behavior and disposition will generally be improved with spaying. For the female spaying is also an important health concern as well over 50% of unspayed females develop uterine cancer. Here's some info on why spay and neuter:

You want to be sure to take her to see a rabbit savvy vet as not all vets are trained to work with rabbits and they are different than cats and dogs. Here is some info about selecting and finding a rabbit savvy vet:
