pregnacy on rabbits

Question
my rabbit has pulled hair of her body and but it in the hay where she sleeps. is she pregnant??

Answer
Dear Danielle,

If your bunny has been with a male rabbit, then she might be pregnant.  If so, please read:

If not, then she may be having a false pregnancy, and it's time for her to be spayed for her health and longevity.  Unspayed, unbred female rabbits have a *very* high risk of uterine cancer.  Please see:

and

You can find a good rabbit vet here:

Hope this helps.
