Rabbits are prey animals, and stress is a default position if they feel anxious or unsafe. Key to reducing stress is to build their self-confidence and help them feel safe. Start with basics, such as siting the hutch in a quiet corner, well away from other pets and a noisy TV. Make sure the rabbit has a shelter where she can hide, and that part of the hutch is covered so she has a dark area to escape to when fearful. Rather than pick her up if she is frightened, gently encourage her to come to you with food treats. Be patient, because it could take weeks or months. Once she learns she's safe, then she'll stop stressing.
