I went to clean up a blanket that's been in my rabbit's room and noticed that there is a ton of fur inside the blanket. Like a nest. She has been pulling the fur out of her neck. So much that there are bald spots on her neck and under her chin. She has never been with a male. So I'm assuming she is having a false pregnancy? Could there be other reasons why she's doing this nesting behavior? She's also been a little more aggressive lately too. If it is false pregnancy, do I have to do anything special for her? Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you.
 
it sounds like a false pregnancy
Just allow her to have her little nest ; I think that it would be stressful to take it away. She most likely would just make another one.
when you can it would be good to have her spayed so that she doesn't have to be troubled by all her hormones (and also to prevent uterine cancer)
