I've just noticed that evie has removed fudges mane and started on franks too. She never did it to Albert but he was a Rex so harder to groom. Is this common I've not come across it before?

Oh no! I have never heard of a bunny removing another's mane but haven't had a lion head before. I just wanted to bump this up for you. Someone might know if this is common behavior.

As far as I know this is not normal behaviour. Stress? Broody? This is all I can come up with, sorry.

Its a dominance thing usually called barbering I think.My Harriet used to do it to her husbun who was a lionhead.She was quite dominant and he was very submissive but she still felt the need to remind him:roll:As the bond matured it got less and less.
