Rabbits may get a little bit aggressive as they grow up. This is not unusual, but is more common with girl than boy rabbits.
If you haven’t done so already, take your rabbit to your vet, to have him desexed. This tends to make all rabbits a lot less bossy and territorial, and should stop him from biting you. If you haven’t already, then you should also get the rabbit vaccinated for calicivirus at the same time.
If desexing doesn’t work, then you can try to teach your rabbit not to bite you. This can take a while, but if the behaviour is new, it is easier. The following website contains an article about training rabbits not to bite;
You should also make sure your rabbit has somewhere else to go when you are changing his food. Most hutches have a run attached where the rabbit can graze, as well as a warm sheltered enclosure where they can hide away. If you are able to keep the rabbits in one part of the hutch, away from the food when you change their food, that may help.
Finally, it is important to ensure your rabbit is being fed an appropriate diet that allows for sufficient 'chewing' time and that your rabbit is provided with sufficient environmental stimulation and the opportunity to exercise outside the cage to prevent boredom.
