  k so my baby coraline um has 2 bald spots on her shoulders almost as if she ripped it our herself. is that normal? they are little spots but i dont want her to keep doing it. also since she lives by herself should i even bother to have her fixed? i mean if i one day get her a buddy i would, but being by herself (and her best stuffed friend ^^) i dont see a point.

  The main reason for spay is this: there is an 80 to 85% chance your little girl will get uterine cancer by age 4. Which would end in a very painful and needless death. So it really is in her best interest to get her spayed ASAP.
  
  Unspayed females do tug out fur now and then, they sometimes get what we call a false pregnancy, they think they are going to have babies but don’t. They pull out the fur to line their nests with before giving birth. My foster bunny Smudge did that, and she wasn’t pregnant. It’s a hormonal thing, and will likely stop after getting her spayed.
