Following on from Rory & Milo's fight earlier Rory has been behaving rather strangely. We noticed her thumping dramatically so went to investigate. She had a clump of hay in her mouth and was ripping fur from her body frantically! I panciked massively and investigated further only to find that at some point today she appears to have made a nest in her litter tray. The clumps of fur are ENORMOUS! I'm surprised she has any fur left on her body! While investigating she was still pulling at the fur on her body and then jumped into her litter tray and pulled masses of fur and hay from her mouth into her little nest. Shes now sitting there guarding it. After researching I'm assuming this is a phantom pregnancy (Milo is neutered)
So I have a few questions
1. Am I right in assuming phantom pregnancy?
2. Is there any chance Milo's neuter was unsuccesful (I don't want to be caught unawares with baby bunnies)
3. Is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable in this situation?
4. Should I continue swapping their homes or leave her settled where her nest is? (I've been swapping so that neither rabbit feels more dominant)
