Yes, perfectly normal for rabbits of both genders.
Have you considered getting her spayed and getting another rabbit? All six of mine are neutered and in pairs (two male/female pairings and one male/male (brothers)). They love having the company of another rabbit providing you get the right match.
Lots of buns in rescue needing homes

I know it sounds selfish but would rather just have the one for now as only have an indoor cage for her and also she runs around like billy beans and makes such a noise at night,she's the best pet iv've ever had (apart from my dog)and just seems to calm me when i give her strokes (apart from when she ran off with my smokey bacon crisps as it was the crinkly bag she was interested in).Have you considered getting her spayed and getting another rabbit?

Getting her spayed would be a good idea. It helps them feel calmer and avoid complications later in life due to being entire.
Her behaviour fits in with her age as 6 months is about the time most average sized bunnies reach sexual maturity.
A friend would be nice for her if possible. Rabbit Welfare Association do not generally agree with rabbits not having a companion however as Moorx has said it is different when they are indoors assuming they are not alone for several hours a day of course!

I can't lie and say that there aren't any risks with the spaying surgery, anaesthesia can be risky with small animals (I lost a previous rabbit when he was having dental treatment). All but one of mine are rescues and they were neutered before I got them, but I have had one female rabbit spayed and she was fine. It's a job to remember how much it cost now but I think it was around £40?
It's a bit more expensive to have a doe done, we paid about £60 each for our 2 boys and think it was £70 ish for doe.
One was fine after anaesthetic the other bigger lad a bit rough for a couple of days. Biggest problem was fetch the small one decided it was his chance to be the dominant rabbit and was a bit nightmare towards dusty whilst he was rough.
