Rabbit Experts! can you help?- sorry looooooong
we inherited two does from dcs friends last year- PAH had sold them too many in one go (don't get me started on PAH grrrrr)
they've been fine though not very handlable- one girl is obviously a bit bossier/braver than the other, the other a bit meeker. Not much tho- if I put say a couple of broccoli stalks in they'll eat one together (eg lady and the tramp) then move on to the next one
at the moment they're not themselves. Both off their food- they're eating but generally VERY motivated by grub (they start doing laps of their run whenever they hear the back door open, usually) and not as interested at the mo. Not bothered with their toys either, and don't want to go in their hutch at night, prefer to stay in run
They have made a lovely nest in there, it's a work of art I would sleep in it if I could fit in there -both of their fur is in there, but more of the meek one's, I think (different colours)
we thought they were moulting due to all the lovely snowy fluff drifting across the garden- but now think hair pulling/nesting (no chance preggo unless they have a 1 year gestation period)
noticed today the meek one has a 50p sized bald patch near her tail and the bossy one is a bit tufty in same place
do we think nesting for phantom preg/s? or dominating? Or both?
heeeeelp meeeeeeee
