Even if a rabbit is spayed (or neutered), he or she may still build a nest and such things because of their natural instincts. This does not necessarily mean that the neutering was unsuccessful.

Why do your female rabbits bite fur off of the others back?

I'm sure this has something to do with building a nest. My female rabbit used to pull most of her fur of her back to make a nest when she had phantom pregnancies. It may be that this is what your rabbit is doing.


Do you need to put the female rabbit and male rabbit in different cages if the female has started pulling out her fur and looks to be building a nest?

well i dont know about the pulling her hair out, but if she's making a nest then its more likely she is making it so she can have a litter of kits/bunnies.


Why does your rabbit pull the straw about his hutch?

My guess would be it is a female rabbit. But, if not perhaps he doesn't like where you have put his straw or he is bored. A female rabbit will do this when she builds her nest.

If your female pet rabbit not pregnant is building a nest should you leave the nest alone in the hutch or remove it within a certain time period?

Sort of your preference, If you are sure she is not pregnant it is probably a sign she wants to be bred. Leaving her nest will not hurt a thing unless she is using it for a potty.


How can you tell when your rabbit is pregnant -- do they get fat?

Only very experienced rabbit handlers can gently palpitate the rabbit's abdomen to feel the little baby rabbits. If you do not know what you are doing, you could hurt the mother and kill the babies by doing this. If you think your female rabbit might be pregnant, provide it with a nest box so it can start building a nest. A few days before she is ready to deliver, she will start pulling out her own fur and padding the box with hay. Be aware however, that some female rabbits have 'false pregnancies' and may start to build a nest even though they are not pregnant.

Is your rabbit is pregnant she rabbit has built a nest but she took her nest out of the box the day after it rained does this mean she is not pregnant or is she letting the nest dry since it is wet?

It is difficult to determine if the rabbit is pregnant based on nest-building behavior alone. The rabbit may have removed the nest from the box to let it dry if it got wet from the rain. Keep an eye on the rabbit for other signs of pregnancy, such as nesting material being pulled from her fur or an increase in appetite.
