The behavior you describe here is typical of a Phantom Pregnancy. When a female rabbit is unspayed this is not an unusual occurrence.

The best thing you can do for her is to have her spayed. This nesting behavior and hormonal impulse is actually quite stressful for her (although often amusing to watch a bunny running around with her mouth full of hay) and she would be far happier when spayed.

It is also worth remembering that most unspayed and unmated female rabbits died of uterine cancer at between 3-5 years of age, spaying can increase life to 10-12 years.

Will the sand bees sting you?

If undisturbed, they won't bother you; however, if you disturb their nesting area by pulling weeds from the ground where the nest is, they will sting. I got stung this morning just that way, and last year I was chased by many bees after pulling weeds and apparently disturbing their nest.


Why Is My Female Dwarf Lop-Eared Rabbit Shedding Fur Is She Pregnant Help Me Rabbit-Lover x?

Is she pulling it out or is it just coming out as you pet her? If she is pulling it out she may be pregnant. In that case you need to get a nest box right away. If you pet her and some hair come then she is just molting.


When I mated my female rabbit 19 days ago and she has pulled her fur out and you saw her eat her own feases?

She is pulling out her fur for nesting proposes, you need to give her a nesting box with nesting materials in it, like hay, cotton bedding( this looks slightly like cotton balls and is sold for hamsters in pet stores), is she mostly pulling out fur from her breast? If so this is completely normal. Also, I'm surprised you haven't seen her eating her "fesses" before! All rabbits do, they actually produce two types of excrement, one is wast, while the other is only partly digested green pelts full of nutrients, bunnies need to eat it or they can become very sick. My only other suggestion is to REASERCH, REASCH, RESEARCH! The more info the better! =)


Your rabbit keeps pulling its hair out and you can see its skin and bone on its feet is that bad?

Your rabbit is pregnant. Or if a boy rabbit has not been near her then she could be having a false pregnancy - which is also common in rabbits.

My rabbit is nesting and pulling out her fur does this mean she is pregnant because i put her with my male rabbit a couple of times and since then she has been doing this is she pregnant?

I have found that with my own rabbits they started to pull their hair out when they are fertile in preparation for being pregnant. The rabbits I had did this when there was no other rabbits around, and the vet I go to said that when they start it is a sign that the bunny is becoming mature.


We have 2 rabbits but today we noticed that one is pulling fur off itsself is this a sign that it is pregnant?

That fur is what she will line the nest with. She will give birth in about a week so have a good nesting box ready for her along with some hay or straw. Congratulations!
