I woke up this morning and my female bunny Marley seems to be nesting but isn't pulling fur. Shes gathering mouthfuls of bedding and hay and packing them in the corner and digging at the bottom. She hasn't been near the male so she cant be pregnant! Any ideas!?
What is Marley Doing!?

If there is no chance she's pregnant then she is probably having a false pregnancy.

Yes like Jenny said, probably is a false pregnancy. That's what I thought of when I read your post.
They do that even if a male hasn't been near her? Do i just leave her do what shes doing then? Ive seen her nest once and she had a false pregnancy about a month and a half ago but beside them times I've never seen her do this I'm just a little worried!

Try not to worry; if she's not been near the male, it's a false pregnancy. 
It's not abnormal for them to go through it even if she hasn't been physically close with the male.

False pregnancies in female rabbits are normal. You may just want to leave the nest for a few days so she doesn't feel like she has to build another one. Then if it is getting soiled or there is fur in it, you can then remove it.
