i agree with sarniatricia - sometimes you need to show her who's boss for a bit and she'll chill.  additionally, she may calm down after her first litter.  it's not uncommon for does to have horrid personalities on their first litter, only to calm down afterwards and be more amicable.  i have a doe that was HORRIBLE (like, always using the kevlar gloves every time i needed to pick her up or clean in her cage,) was even more horrible when she was pregnant, then almost immediately after kindling she became a different rabbit.  she's not exactly FRIENDLY now, but she wouldn't lunge at me anymore.  she did try to box me for a bit, but a few days of getting pinned and now she just sits in the back corner and glowers at me, and i can pick her up and do health checks/etc if i need to.  so i would wait and see how she acts after the kits wean, and during her second pregnancy.  hopefully she'll chill out a bit.
