        My bunnies are 2 year old females (both spayed) and bonded. They are malting and recently I’ve spotted the dominant bunny pulling the other ones fur out and eating it? this leaves the other one with bald spots??

        Is this normal?? Im assuming if it hurt her she would hop away but she just puts her head on the floor and accepts it… Im worried

          If it doesn’t seem aggressive, your bunny is probably trying to groom your other bunny, and because she is molting, the groomer is getting tufts of fur.
          I would brush your bunnies as much as you can to avoid them ingesting so much fur when grooming themselves and each other.

            What you are describing doesn’t sound aggressive. I agree with LEL, it is probably just shedding/grooming. The only other reason I could think of is if the dominant bunny is humping the other. Sometimes they will pull a chunk of fur out then. But if this isn’t the result of humping, then I would say it is just normal grooming behavior.
