Yes, female rabbits bite, just like males, or any other mammal might. Our house rabbit has been known to give a sharp nip to fingers or clothing when feeling particularly grumpy about something, such as being picked up or scooted back into her cage earlier than expected.

It is a very natural defence characteristic that may carry over into your domestic rabbits, having very few ways to tell you when they are not happy about something. For most rabbits it is not a common occurrence and only rarely causes any significant damage. So reasonable care and observation, and sometimes simple patience, will often overcome the problem should your rabbit have this habit.
