Why does my rabbit bite her hair?

[Linh]

Hi, my rabbit is a female but she didn’t stay with any male rabbit before. I don’t know why she bite her hair and look like she eat really less than normal day.

Is she pulling it out? If not, she is just grooming herself. When animals clean themselves they bite their fur to get it clean.

Yes, she takes it out

She could be having a false pregnancy. It's an instinct to make a nest. Is she spayed?

Few other things I could think of:
- She's bored and needs more enrichment/entertainment.
- She needs to be groomed more often (right now my rabbit is shedding like crazy so I brush her every day).
- Could it be mites? Fleas?

If she is not spayed it is probably a false pregnancy. Is she building a nest?

Theo is right, first see if its a false pregnancy then check the other things out. What about her skin, is it showing any sings of stress?
