Question
my rabbit is ripping her hair out and she is leaving bald spots on her self what should i do? what does it mean?

Answer
Dear Berenice,

If your bunny is not spayed, and more than about six months old, she could be having a false pregnancy. Please read:

It's time for her to be spayed for her health and longevity.  Please read:

and find a good rabbit vet here:

Hope that helps.
