Rabbit

Need advice deterring my bun from humping me

When I married my husband 2 years ago, I gained some bunnies in the process. He grew up with bunnies, I mostly had cats, a dog here and there, and a few smaller exotic pets. I've tried to be patient and let Jack learn to trust me, but it's hard because the rabbits aren't allowed to live inside (we rent from my grandmother-in-law and she's… difficult), but we're allowed to bring them inside for a bit as long as we keep them in our sight.

Jack is on the older side, and has a big attitude. He'll come over and walk on me and stuff if I'm on the floor once he gets comfortable in the space (binkying, honking, laying with his feet stretched out, etc.), but usually he starts humping me. He does the same thing when we hang out in the baby corral in the grass for enrichment. I've literally accidentally flung him 2 feet away from me when he started humping my leg, and he came right back, no matter how many times I pushed him away. He will NOT stop. Sometimes, he even does the little dominance nips before he starts (not hard, just a pinch). I'm the only one he's ever done this to, and he'll sometimes hump the towel we lay down if he's on our bed.

I just want to have a bunny I can spend time with and maybe eventually get cuddles. He's not neutered (not my choice), and he's too old for us to feel comfortable doing that. I know there's not much to be done unless we move and make him an inside bunny, but does anyone have any ideas at all? Thank you!!!
