Aggressive Rabbit/Allergies
So when I was little my family bread rabbits and sold them, a neighbors dog got into our rabbit yard where we kept their hutches and low and behold all our rabbits were killed. That was about ten years ago, do to that my parents insisted I did not have a pet rabbit to avoid this fiasco, and I love rabbits so much! My dad surprised me on Christmas Eve with a pet rabbit, I called him Frank and I love him so much. I'm moving out soon and I'm not sure it's a good idea to take the rabbit with me. I love him but every time I stick my hand in to put food in his bowl he snorts at me and jumps at me. I will leave his cage open and let him run around in my room for about two hours a day, and when I pick him up and put him back in his cage he gets mad and grunts at me, it sounds like a pig snorting, I know he isn't afraid of me, but he bit me the other day when I tried to give him food. Is there a way I can train my rabbit to be more loving or just accepting? Also I have an allergy to animals and I also already have a hamster. Whenever I hold them I break out in hives and my eyes swell up. I take allergy medicine but it tires me out so much. Is there a way to avoid this while still keeping my rabbit with me when I leave home? I love him and I want to show my parents that having this pet won't lead to heart break. Help please? :(

A vet would probably have tips on dealing with biting and aggression. If you love the animal and your parents have seen that they will know that your aren't shirking responsibility.
By asking them or your vet to help find a loving home for him or care for him if they can it's the right thing to do. If something is making you so sick physically it isn't your fault and is wrong to continue exposure to the source of it.
Being miserable and on pills that are causing bad effects for the rest of the animal's life and years of yours is not a good choice. Although, heartbroken your well-being has to come first and your family will see you tried hard and were responsible in finding it a home.
Next visit an allergy specialist and tell them that you can't keep any animals because you become sick. They will know of dogs at least which you won't be allergic to as Barack Obama had that problem and BO seems to be fine with them. You'll find the perfect pet that way.
