  My bunny Hanna is acting a bit odd. She was just running around the house in a very “abnormal” way and I noticed her face (cheek) looked swollen. I put her on the couch with me to investigate and noticed a hunk of fur hanging from her mouth. I pulled a chunk of fur out of her mouth and it just kept coming and coming and coming. I had to put my finger inside her cheek numerous times to get it all out. I have no idea how she fit that much fur in her mouth or why she did it! She is not spayed so I am wondering if this could be false pregnancy? Is this anything to be concerned about? I worry about her swallowing the fur if she does this again.
  The pictures below show the fur I pulled from inside her cheek.
  
  Side note: since she had a neck/back injury with paralysis last year, I am not comfortable
  
  Putting her under anesthesia to have her spayed. Also she is not shedding much right now so the fur in her mouth is not a grooming issue.
  
  Thank you all in advance for any insight!
