Hair pulling in rabbits can indicate a few things beyond normal grooming. It might be due to stress, a skin condition (like mites or fleas), pain, or even a nutritional deficiency. Sometimes pregnant does will pull fur to build a nest (nesting behavior). Observe the areas where your rabbit is pulling fur. Are there any bald patches, redness, or scabs? Ensure their diet is appropriate with plenty of hay, and their environment is stimulating and low-stress. A vet visit can help rule out medical causes.
