Questionmy rabbit is pulling out and eating clumps of fur one by one , Why would this be?
AnswerDear Shelby,
Are you sure she is *eating* the fur, or just mouthing it. It's possible that she's having a false pregnancy, and pulling fur to line her nest. If this is the case, it's time for her to be spayed. You can read more here:

If she has ever been with a male (in the last month or so), then she could really be pregnant, and you will have to make appropriate preparations, as described here:

Please find a good rabbit vet here, in case of emergency:

You will need to have her spayed at some point, and it's good to find a good rabbit vet before you need one.
Hope this helps.
