Here's a breakdown of what actually happens:
* The "Pull": During mating, the male rabbit (buck) will mount the female (doe) and bite onto her neck fur. This is not pulling, but rather a way for the buck to hold onto the doe and maintain stability during the act.
* Hair Loss: Sometimes, the pressure from the buck's bite can lead to some loose fur coming out. This is not deliberate, but rather a consequence of the force applied while he's holding on.
* Normal Behavior: The amount of fur loss, if any, is typically minimal and not a cause for concern. It's a natural part of the mating process and not a sign of distress or injury.
It's important to remember that rabbit mating can be quite vigorous, and both the buck and doe will make a lot of noise. This is normal and shouldn't be mistaken for a sign of pain or aggression.
If you notice any excessive hair loss or unusual behavior during or after mating, it's always best to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health concerns.
