Why is your rabbit dragging its bedding about?

This could be your bunny making a nest! When a rabbit is making a nest you will often see her running about with a mouthful of bedding, or dragging bedding from one section of the cage/room to another. If she is not pregnant, she may be having a phantom pregnancy... Now is the time to have her spayed! Sometimes rabbits will just choose to rearrange their homes, even male rabbits will occasionally do this.

No, a hard stomach is not a sign of pregnancy in rabbits, but it probably is a sign of illness (maybe gas, bloat, or GI Stasis -- all very serious conditions!). See the vet right away! See the related questions below for more detail. No, you can't use hamster bedding in a rabbit's nest. Bedding should be clean straw or grass hay. The mother rabbit should have a nest box that you can remove from the cage while you clean it.
