What if a mother rabbit does not pluck her fur from her belly before or after having her babies?

Don't worry, the doe will eventually pluck her fur, even if the kits are due the next day. If you really think she won't pluck her fur out, look around her cage. There might already be signs of making a nest, like clumps of bedding in one spot or something else. Or, contact your vet for a check up.

If your rabbit has had a large litter of babies and is taking good care of them there is nothing to worry about.

If you mean she has had many litters of babies over a few years then it is time to have her spayed. If she is living with a male rabbit who is unfixed you need to separate them before she becomes pregnant again.

If a female rabbit does not have babies of her own, then she is most likely not producing any milk. It is rare for a mother to just spontaneously begin to lactate without having gone through a pregnancy. If the mother already has babies and the babies are close to the same age, then the mother will take the orphined babies. It is always important to monitor the rqabbit closely with the new babies and make sure she is showing no agression toward them.
