Hi i browse the forum regularly and never needed to post anything until now
This is the first time i have had bunnies, i bought this one particular doe as a baby in september, recently she has started pulling her fur out of her back and chest, Theres no noticable patches but i caught her doing it.
I thought it was strange but figured it might be the way they moult? But when i was cleaning out the hutch, i have found a huge pile of fur in the back corner as like a nest? (but she doesnt look or feel pregnant)
She has been kept with another doe since i've had her - well i am having second thoughts of her sex now!
So really what im asking is, does anyone have any ideas on what causing this?
Stress? Moult? Pregnant? (i hope not) or bored?
Thanks in advance!
