I have a rabbit that we recently bred and believe that she is pregnant but we are not sure. We know that she is supposed to pull fur but, she is not pulling from the dewlap, she is pulling from her top of her front and back feet. Any ideas on what this is?Pregnant rabbit, pulling fur from odd places?
While the chest or dewlap is a common place to pull fur for nesting, they can pull from any place that they can reach. Be aware that they will pull fur in a false pregnancy as well. If she is 25 days out from breeding, get a nest box in with her and let her get ready.Pregnant rabbit, pulling fur from odd places?
well this is a bit odd but it may be because there is tougher fur there, it may because there is bot enough fur on the belly where they usally get it from
They use the hair the pull out to make a nest because the babies are born with no hair so it keeps them warm.
