Hello everyone, I'm new here. I would take time for introductions, but I have a rabbit problem ....
We have a mini lop rabbit (we "think" it's a female ...?). She? is approx 1-2 years old. We recently moved her into a new (larger) hutch with a nice nest box built into it. She's been in it for about a week now. She's been a happy camper in there. We had some hay in her nest box, but last night we added a lot more to it. So she has a good bit of hay in there now (since last night) .. and this morning my daughter went to feed her and opened the nest box to look in there, and in addition to the hay we put in - she has alot of fur in there to - in a circle like a nest.
WE DO NOT HAVE MALE RABBITS ... infact, we do not have ANY other rabbits for that matter. And there is no way she could've been around a male ... not even a wild rabbit. The bottom of her hutch is like 2 feet off the ground. And her old hutch had a tray under it and was like 3 feet off the ground ... so to my knowledge there's no possible way that a wild rabbit could get even close to her. So I know she can't be pregnant.
So then WHY is she pulling her hair out and making a nest!???
