Hi, for the last couple of days, Poppy hasn't been eating quite as much food as she usually would although she's been eating plenty of veg and hay and i came out to see her this morning and she's pulled out lots of fur in the bed compartment of her hutch. Is there anything i can do? She's being moody and won't let me pick her up to see where the hair is being pulled from and i dont want to force her to be picked up incase i stress her out so i haven't. Help!
 
Hello :)

I assume Poppy is not spayed and that there is no chance what-so-ever that she is pregnant?
Spaying will be the best thing to get done then Poppy wont be such a slave to her hormones :roll: :lol: Also, it will protect her from Uterine Infections and cancer.

i think it'll just be a phase (that's what Zelda did and a week later she was fine) but i would reccomend spaying as it will ereadicate these phases for life and save her from urine cancer and other illnesses.
 
The day before I had Tinkerbell spayed, she built the mother of all nests in the cupboard under the sink! Sooo much hay and fur!

I think the only answer is to get her spayed :D

yeah i really do want to get her spayed i guess im being selfish cos im scared i'l lose her! should i just leave her to it then for the time being until i do get her spayed?
 
Yep, just leave her to it basically :D

I was very scared to about having the girls spayed, but it wasn't half as bad as I was imagining!

As has been said speying will make her a lot happier as she will do it several times a year and be quite grumpy with you. It's not the serious op it used to be as vets are a lot more bunny savvy these days and anesthetics are a lot better too.
