(Why not? I love talking about my babies. xD)
I got my girl (albino New Zealand White mix breed), Miss Tuffsy, in 2005. She was three years old then.
When I got her, she wasn't spayed. And when I took her to the vets the vet refused to do any surgery on rabbits.
She loves being petted, kissed, and loved on and given treats. But if you try to pick her up, she is very aggressive. She is 11 years old now, and with all the loving, playing and whatnot - she still is aggressive when being picked up.
In my opinion, spaying would greatly improve the bunnies mood (not mine, I'm talking about tiata post). And I do agree with E.urka with spending extra time with them as much as you can. Try to learn their personality. Every bun in my opinion has a different personality like people.
Miss Tuffsy for example can be a sweety but will kill you if you try to pick her up. While my other rabbit, Cookie (who isn't spayed as well), is the sweetest thing I've ever seen, including when you pick her up.

She used to be super sweet and cuddly, she still is but some times attacks you for no reason or some thing like a paper bag.... She just started in her old cage and now I changed her in a new big cage (she's been in there for like 3 hours) and already attacked her blanket went I lifted it a bit. Is there any way I can calm her? I might spay her this summer or fall but if it is to expensive I will not spay her. I really need some tips and please don't just say spaying will help.

Teenage angst, I guess ;D They got over it quickly and were soon back to their usual snuggley selves.
