  I have a 8 month old bunny that has been pulling his hair out around his balls, and has been playing with himself for about 2 weeks off and on, the passed 2 days he has started to hump. My bunny is not fixed and there is no other bunnies in our home. We left on a vacation for about a week and left him in the care of my family and I came home to this behavior. Other then this he seems completely normal. I just wanted to know if this normal or is this something to be concerned about especially him pulling out his hair.

  Hmm… the fur pulling is concerning. Are you able to look down there? There could be something irritating the area and he’s trying to alleviate it. In fact, humping can be a sign of bladder problems. You wouldn’t think that would be the case with an 8 month old unneutered bun since humping behavior is pretty normal… but something is doesn’t sound right with what you’re describing.
