I just bought a Holland Lop doe that had babies in June.

The lady i bought her from showed me her sides where she had pulled out most of her fur to line her nest with.

She was bald on both sides the lady said and she tried to get her to stop pulling it all out but couldn`t.

Is this normal and is there anything i can do to help her grow it back faster for winter?

Thanks.

Will she do this again if i breed her?

Pulling fur is very normal. Off the sides, I don't know but there's no way of knowing if she'll do it that way again. I know many will pull fur from their dewlap and belly.

My mom had a bunny that pulled the fur from her *neighbor* too! LOL!


 
It is normal, all does pull fur differently and different amounts. SOmetimes they learn a bit after a couple of litters and don't pull as much. Sun did what your bunny did on her first litter but she pulled from her tummy on teh second litter :)
