Question
my female rabbit is pregnant and is pulling out hair but is not making a nest. i mean she is pulling out hair near the door and around there. the male is still with her is this why she is doing this? Please reply its her life on risk. thanku

Answer
Remove the male from her. An unneutered male should never be left with an unspayed female except while they are mating (and they should be watched while they are mating, then the female should be removed when they are done).

Many rabbits do not make a proper nest until right before or right after they give birth.
