My rabbit is suddenly pulling out its fur and acting restless. Is this normal?

[]

Answer

Fur pulling and restlessness in a rabbit can signify a few things. It could be a territorial or stress response, especially if there are changes in their environment or companions. However, it's also a common sign of a false pregnancy in intact female rabbits, where they will build a nest and pull fur for bedding. Less commonly, it could indicate pain or an underlying skin irritation. Observe for other symptoms like changes in appetite or elimination. It's best to consult a vet to rule out any medical issues. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
