Hi Claire,

Its good to know you and your bunny are co-existing happily.

++Some bunnies dont like being picked up but you
can try sitting on the floor with her and getting her to
sit on your knee while you hold a treat for her to eat eg carrot or such

>>she sways her head from side
>to side when she is sat still,

++Some rabbits do this. I believe its called tracking
and is more common in white albino rabbits but dont quote me on this. You could try www.rabbit.org to see if they
have some information on this condition.

>>for a couple of hours
>each day she does squigy poo's,

++These aren't the ceacal chain like night time pellets rabbits
re-ingest that you're seeing? Does she do loose droppings
after eating hay? I have had rabbits that have been a
bit loose after certain types of food.

>>and the last thing is

++I think it is excitement. Some bunnies do make strange
grunting type noises and I have a little male who does
this. If you have any doubts about her health though,
it is always better to consult a bunny vet.

>>>Thanks for all your help! Your advice worked last
>time - hope it does this time!

++Hope some of this advice helps too :)
