Mini Lop Pulling Fur?

[ckcs]

Do rabbit pull fur if they are shedding? I'm aware of fur pulling with nest building but the doe in question hasn't been with any bucks. She's not building a nest, it's just chunks of fur along the edge of the cage.

Its hard to say,is she actually pulling the fur herself or did you find the fur that way on the floor. I have had more than one rabbit have "false" pregnancy" issues when living alone and no bucks around. She could have tried to build a nest and the fur was scattered.
How does her coat look? Are there any visible thin spots?
Is she pulling fur from all over or just her belly?

The fur is coming from her belly based on the length. I flipped her over tonight and didn't notice any bald spots. I couldn't feel any either. I will check her more thoroughly in the morning.

Another thought, how old is she?

About 18 months.
