  My rabbit, levi(used to be named Cadbury) will not listen! If i take him out of the cage only for a minute he will nip and dig on my clothes to be let out. I’ll gently push his bottom to the side to tell him no and if he keeps doing it I’ll pick him up and say ‘no’. He still does it! Are there other ways of getting him to stop?

  You’re saying he’s digging and nipping your clothes when he’s on your lap or you’re holding him? Your wording has new a little confused. In his opinion you’re the one not listening. He’s trying to say hey, put me down/i don’t want to be held.
  
  If that’s not right, I don’t quite understand the situation in which he’s misbehaving.

  Sorry for the confusion. Levi is a baby and lives with her mom so when i put my hand in to pet her siblings and mom i purposely block the door with my forearm so he wont escape but he’ll nip and bite the clothes on my forearm.

  I suspect he either doesn’t want you there, or more likely, he’s trying to tell you to stop blocking the doorway so that he can jump out and be free. Your best bet is to just gently push him away, even if you have to do it 20 times in a row.
