Answer
Dear Jessica,

What color is your rabbit, normally?  Without more information, I can't really tell what you're asking me.  If the fur is coming out, then please read:

to see if this could be mange or other skin problem.  You can find a good vet here to help you:

Pine shavings are not recommended, as they can cause respiratory problems and may have adverse effects on the liver.  Please change away from wood shavings and switch to either pelleted sawdust litter (e.g., Feline Pine) or other safe organic litter (e.g., Carefresh), no matter what the problem is being caused by.

I hope this helps.
