Mummy Rabbit loosing hair

[Vikki]

Hi,

Please can anyone help, my rabbit is nursing her one week old baby, he seems to be doing really well (see picture). Mummy has lost hair from around her back legs as I didn't see her pulling it from their I wondered is their a reason for this or should I take her to the vets? I have an appointment on Friday with my other bunny for acheckup so it would be easy to take her too? Also would a car journey stress her out, I really don't want to upset her at the moment?

She most likely is pulling it out to make sure that her baby is warm. They will often keep pulling fur for the nest even up to 10 days later. She could be doing this at night. I wouldn't worry about it.
