So we just moved into a new place last night. Whisky seems to be coping pretty well, she comes out of her cage and hops around the bunny-proofed living room, comes up the stairs to chill with the dog and see what I’m doing in my office, eats normally, litter box habits are thankfully still there, etc. But when I came down to let her out of her cage this morning, I saw that she’d pulled a bunch of her fur out. No bald spots, more like shedding, but she wasn’t doing this prior to the move.

I have a couple of theories…but just want to make sure there’s nothing I should be watching out for. I’m guessing part of this is because the new house is about 8ºF warmer than the old house, so she’s suddenly a little too hot. And I’m also guessing this might be a nesting thing due to the change? She’s not spayed yet (on the agenda for this winter, she’s almost 1.5 years old, which I know is way longer than I should have let her go…). 

So is this normal? I just want to make sure!
