        My 8 month old boy is currently in bunny puberty. I got used to the humping and I plan on getting him neutered once I get the money. But the odd thing is this:

        He has developed this odd habit of barbering (Pulling out his fur) and then running in to a specific corner and digging at the blankets, then regurgitating his fur in that area. Always in that area. He also pulls up carpet and puts it in that area. Now I am really thankful he’s not eating all of this stuff. It looks like he’s nesting. What do I do? Will this stop when I get him neutered? Is this dangerous for him?

        Please step away from the electric hay.

          It sounds like nesting. Are you sure he’s a boy?

          I don’t think it’s dangerous for him at all. It sounds hormonal though, so getting him de-sexed will probably help.

            I agree that it sounds like nesting for a pseudo pregnancy. I would also double-check to make sure he’s a boy. But I do suspect it would stop with desexing no matter what gender he is.
