Sounds like she is telling you that she owns you. Rabbits will use pee and poop to mark their territory. If she's young, she also doesn't have the control either.
For now, don't let her have too much free space and let her get used to using a litter box in her room or pen. We just use a cat litter box lined with newspaper and topped with hay. If she isn't spayed, that will help her litter box habits and it is very important to spay her for her health.

How old is your rabbit? Young rabbits are more likely to do that, especially baby ones. Other than age, you may just want to watch how you pick her up and make sure you don't put pressure on her stomach if you can. And as the one person mentioned, it could be due to anxiety when you go to pick her up. The first second or two you pick her up, pick her up and hold her away from you. Normally if they are going to it will be pretty much in the first few seconds and not a delayed action. Although sometimes they will right after you set them back down.

Sometimes animals get anxious when you hold them and thats why they may wee on you. Try sitting the rabbit on the ground next to you and stroking it, and then when it seems comfortable after a few trys of doing that them sit it on you and see if it still goes to the toilet on you or not. If so...then before you pick the rabbit up...put it somewhere and watch it and make sure it goes to the toilet and then pick it up.

Yes and no X.x You can try to feed and water her certin times a day and then take her out and play with her after she has gone to the bathroom.Also get a box and put cat litter in it show them the bath room after they eat and they will learn to use that instead.If they want to get down while your holding them let it down because most likely they need to go to the potty.

Is she spayed?
If not spay her and you'll see some big change...
