There are a few different reasons for why rabbits pull out their fur. The rabbit won't stop until you deal with the root cause.

First of all, not all vets know about rabbits. Although one vet said there's no parasites, you might want to seek a second opinion.

Other possibilities:

  • Pregnancy
  • False pregnancy - this is something female rabbits do because of their sex hormones, even when they haven't been near a male rabbit. False pregnancies are stressful for rabbits, and stress leads to a low quality of life and even illness, so it's a good idea to spay your rabbit so that it won't go through false pregnancies anymore. There are many good reasons to spay/neuter rabbits.
  • Stress - can be caused by a bad lifestyle or environment, or a traumatic experience, or extreme boredom, or illness. Aside from self-mutilation (pulling fur), stress leads to a low quality of life and can lead to severe, deadly illness (GI stasis, for example). You should do everything you can to give your rabbit a happy life and minimise stress. You should also look for other signs of illness to see if there's an underlying problem, and be prepared to bring the rabbit to a vet with experience and knowledge in rabbits. Consider spaying/neutering the rabbit, because sex hormones also contribute to stress.
