Question
Hi
My drawf rabbits is pulling out her hair around the front and side of her body? Do you have any idea why? she looks awful. We also have an older rabbit who is a male, normal breed. Would he be stressing her out? Love to hear from you Raylene

Answer
Hi Raylene. Are your rabbits housed together? Could your female be pregnant? Female rabbits will pull the fur around the front of their neck, belly, and sides when they get ready to have babies. If this is the case you need to separate the two and give your doe a nest box with some straw or hay to have her babies in. Contact me again and let me know what is going on and I will try to help.  Pat
