  My female rabbit is constantly digging right now and taking my clothes to her little sleeping area she barely started doing this and she was pulling out her hair from her belly and feet. She’s eating and drinking just fine

  This sounds like nesting behavior. Is she spayed?

    She isn’t spayed.

  If she isn’t spay, but has no access to a male, then she could be experiencing what they call a phantom or pseudo pregnancy. Her hormones make her think she is going to have babies and she builds a nest. This will resolve after a few days once she realizes there are no babies (assuming she isn’t actually pregnant).
  
  I would suggest getting her spayed. Not only will it prevent these pseudo pregnancies, which can be stressful, it will increase her life expectancy and make her more healthy overall.
