That definitely sounds like a false-pregnancy if you know for sure she has not been around any unneutered males (or males that have been neutered for less then a month) lately.

It could be a false pregnancy, or could be something else. Have you thought of getting her spayed? Female buns have an 80-85% chance of getting uterine cancer, which is prevented by spaying them. It would be good for her health and tons less expensive than cancer treatment.

Is she indoors or outdoors? Have you taken her in to see a vet?

At over a year, she is still young, but set in her personality. Spaying could help with aggression, but some buns just don’t like being touched or held. My girl Monkey HATES being touched. But she is happy to climb all over me when I am sitting on the floor with her. As long as I don’t try to touch her

Unfortunately, she will keep having false pregnancies. Spaying is the answer to that She will be calmer and less worried about nesting.

Spaying is really worth it. My little girl was spraying pee all over at 5 months, and after she got fixed at 6 months, she has calmed down, her litter habits are great. She is the laziest, demanding, and opinionated bunny ever.

Some buns just don’t care for being picked up.. lol

Please keep us updated on finding a vet

Oh yes, having her spayed will help her. She’s at the ideal age to do this too. Please let us know if you need assistance finding a good rabbit vet.

You mention her not spending time at the nest she’s made. That is normal. With a real litter, a rabbit will only visit it briefly to feed the kits once or twice a day and that’s all. It’s just a prey species instinct. The less time spent there, the less likelihood a predator would find the nest.
Fur pulling for a real pregnancy usually happens in the 24hrs before giving birth so hopefully your little bun is experiencing the end part of her false pregnancy. Fingers crossed.

Everyone pretty much covered the basics – yes, it’s most likely a false pregnancy. It will go away, but there’s a good chance it will come back. Not sitting by the nest is also normal – bunnies don’t sit in their nests, just have the babies there and come and go for feedings.

I would definitely look into getting her spayed. It will stop this behavior and will also prevent her from getting reproductive cancer (which have a very high occurrence)

When I brought Gabby home she was a little over a year old and after a couple of weeks I took her in to be spayed. I was worried about her being spayed but she recovered really quickly and was sweeter after she was no longer sore. I would highly recomend her being spayed as the others advised. Good luck with her vet’s visit.

Getting her spayed should settle the hormones (won’t happen immediately) and most bunnies tend to be calmer, happier house pets. My Mini Lop girl, Cotton, is quite the diva- but with her settling down after the spay and getting thru the “teenage” stage- she is an awesome housepet. (Of course my boys are too- but they were never nearly as demanding as her and her hormones).
