It's most likely that you rabbit is suffering from stress.
Stress can be caused by a bad lifestyle or environment, or a traumatic experience, or extreme boredom, or illness. Aside from self-mutilation (pulling fur), stress leads to a low quality of life and can lead to severe, deadly illness (GI stasis, for example). You should do everything you can to give your rabbit a happy life and minimise stress.
You should also look for other signs of illness to see if there's an underlying problem, and be prepared to bring the rabbit to a vet with experience and knowledge in rabbits.
Consider spaying/neutering the rabbit, because sex hormones also contribute to stress.
There's also the possibility that your rabbit has a parasite or other skin problem.
It's also possible that your rabbit is pregnant or has a false pregnancy, but then the rabbit would probably be pulling fur from the chin and belly, not the paws.

Dwarf rabbits are basically the same as all pet rabbits, so you can tell their sex (male/female) in the same ways. It's very difficult to tell if a baby rabbit is male or female. Until the testicles descend (anywhere from 9 to 20 weeks of age), you can't tell if a rabbit is male or female. See the related question below for more details.
