QuestionHi my lion head rabbit has recently pulled the hair out of his side leaving himself nearly bald, why has he done this?
AnswerDear Graham,
Actually a likely explanation is that "he" is a "she" having a false pregnancy, and pulling her fur to line a nest. But there are various causes of fur loss if you're sure this is a male:

If your bunny is female, she needs to be spayed for her health:

You can find a good vet to help you here:

Hope this helps.
