There can be two reasons why rabbits lose their whiskers:
1) As they grow old, hair and fur fall out. This is the same with humans, dogs, cats, etc. They just don't need the fur!
2) They can also lose their whiskers if they get frightened. If you scream all of a sudden when it is quiet, the rabbit will probably jump and some hair will fall out. Whiskers count as hair. Did you know that if you scare a chinchilla A LOT, its tail might even fall out?
