Adult Female Rabbit Pulling Out Fur

My rabbit is pulling out fur from baby?

she should NOT be with the baby 24/7 in the wild rabbits only visit their babies 1-2 times a day to feed them. So move the baby to another cage then 2 times a day have it nurse. In its own cage it should have food and water of its own as it should have started on solids at about 3 weeks, then at 6-8weeks it should be fully weened.

The mama and babies MUST be seperated, trapping her in a cage with them can lead to her eatting them, accidently stomping on them etc.

Male rabbit pulling his fur out....?

My rabbits had the same thing also . Go to a pet shop or a vet and ask them . What i did was i went to the pet shop and told them they told me to buy papaya tablets . Go to a pet shop or a vet and buy papaya tablets they really help alot. Now my rabbits fur is not really coming out . Buy a syringe . Crush the papaya tablets and water mix them and put it in the syringe and put it in your bunny mouth .

My rabbit had baby's and is now pulling more fur?

one of my females had babys on sunday at 11 am, she was pulling fur about 5 mins before to line the nest and then after they give birth she covered them, today she was pulling more fur and covered the babies even more, the whole of the bedding area is full of fur lol. i think its just because the mother can feel how cold its getting so they just pull more for extra warmth.
rabbits breed VERY quickly so they need seperating now. if ur female gets pregnant to soon the kits u have now wont get the full 8 weeks of mothers milk as she will abandon them once the new litter gets here. im not sure what the water and blob of blood is but maybe if she got pregnant straight after giving birth this was her body rejecting a pregnancy?
a female can get pregnant twice in one pregnancy but she will always give birth to them all in one go. if she gave birth 2 days ago, shes done, no more babies to come. and if a rabbit gets pregnant then bred again after 3-4 days she will just reject the whole pregnanys as they wont both be forming at the same time and she will just pass fleshy like blobs.

My female rabbit is tearing sooooo much fur out of my male rabbit HELP?

well ive found out i have a male and a female rabbit both netherland dwarves and latelky all shes been doing is mounting the male, so bad that shes taken alot of fur from each side from clinging to him whilst mounting him, and she's taken some form the top of his head, she's never done this before, so im not sure what to do, because it's so cold out side i bought an indoor cage for them both to stay in so it's much smaller than the cage they go in outside really big cage.

what should i do??


thanks

My rabbit has killed her babies and still pulling fur out what is going on?

Most of Nicole's answer is correct. Most likely your doe is already pregnant again. Bucks and does should not be housed together. As soon as a doe kindles the buck will mate with her again. She most likely killed the kits because she felt threatened by the buck being there. You are lucky the doe did not kill the buck as often the doe will attack the buck after they have mated and she is indeed pregnant. She will often bite his penis off or seriously wound him in that area.
She still thinks she has kits even though she killed them. Her hormones are still telling her she has kits to care for. rabbits are animals and act on instinct, they do not reason things out like humans do.
Please do your doe and your buck a favor, get them each their own cage. ALso please do more research on breeding rabbits before she is due again. It could be anytime since they were together.
She will need a nest box with bedding before she kindles again.
Please do more research.

Also it is not true that you should not touch the kits for 14 days. Kits should be checked daily to make sure the doe is caring for them, also to remove any dead babies, bloody materials, etc. The nest box should be cleaned out on day 10 to prevent infections in the kit's eyes.

My rabbit keeps biting and eating my other rabbit's fur, what should I do?

How old are your rabbits? From 3-4 months they start to sexually mature so if its the Male doing taking the fur off the female then Jose is right, hes trying to mount her.

Or:

There are several other reasons why this can happen. When rabbits are fighting they will often pull out the other rabbits hair. When nest building, the female will sometimes pull out the males hair to build her nest with and sometimes it can be a part of over grooming where one rabbit becomes so intently focused on cleaning the other that they end up developing bald patches.

Hope this helps. You might need to separate them for a while if nothing helps.

Why is my Adult Holland Lop Rabbit starting to bite out her breast fur? (Edit: she isn't around any male rabbits )

It sounds like your rabbit may be experiencing a false pregnancy. This is something common with doe rabbits where, responding perhaps to some arbitrary hormonal trigger, they will begin to show behaviors typical of pregnancy even though they are not pregnant.It happens to my own rabbit regularly. Behold the fluff producing power of the Holland Lop!I will also catch her stealing blankets, socks, rags, and anything fluffy she can find.It’s all perfectly natural and there’s nothing you can really do about it.She may try to burrow, so make sure her claws are trimmed and it might also help to give her some sand or litter or crumpled newspaper to dig around in. If her chosen nesting area is too bare, I can only imagine that it would encourage more fluff-ripping and sock-collection, so I would resist the urge to clean it all out until your doe calms down.

First time mother(rabbit) didn't pull fur, feeding questions?

My rabbits just gave birth today. The bunnies were left cold and scattered through out the nest box, there's only 3. I've taken them inside and have them in a nest box on a heating pad. The mother lets us bring her in and lay her down to nurse. All three bunnies got 5 min each. I didn't see any milk what so ever on her teets, they also became from red and bruised looking but I assume that's normal for the first time nursing. Okay so my questions would be, how can I tell if she is producing milk? How long should I let babies nurse for on her and how often? Should I do a supplemental feed? And I do still need to take a warm cotton ball and help them poop/pee correct since she isn't licking them? I've raised a litter before who's mom died at about 2 weeks, two survived, and I used goat milk for them.

If it makes any difference this a velveteen. I've bred and shown rabbits for over 7 years so it isn't new to me. I've typically just let the doe do her own thing(which pretty much ends up just letting the kits die) up until I lost that one standard rex doe and I had to become mom, no other options.

Also, I've got a mini rex doe due any moment now, I believe today is day 31 post-breeding/being put with male. She's a first time mother as well. But if she does do great and I can keep these guys going I will foster them on to her. That's my hopes and wishful thinking.

Why is my rabbit losing fur around his hind legs and his stomach, and how can I help him?

It could be fleas or mites.Are you absolutely sure he is a he? If he’s a she and pregnant, rabbits sometimes fur pluck around these areas.Is he a bored loner or does he share a hutch with another rabbit or mate? It could be overgrooming in either case.If the rabbit is in a permanently wet/moist environment (damp litter, leaky water bottle) it could be a pseudomonas infection. Look for a bluish colour to the skin.Best advice… get to a veterinarian, ASAP. Don’t try folk treatments like bathing your rabbit in baby shampoo, because some already ill rabbits go into shock afterwards.
