Now the bald patch at the base of his neck is the size of a quarter. They have in there: A chew log, an empty oatmeal container, a box with a hole cut in it, a really tick cardboard box with grass and dandylions in it, and some stuffed animals. What else can I possibly add?!

For those who don't know:
I have 3 rabbits: Mocho (male), Latte (female), and Decaf (female). Latte barbers Mocho all the time, so he has bald patches EVERYWHERE. We're trying to keep her entertained.

JEEZ. I don't know! I mean, those are all the ideas I'd suggest. Do you think it's stress?

It sounds like a ocd that has formed into a pretty strong habit. Is there a way you can split the cage or get him situated in a spare cage for a bit? Close enough they can still smell and see each other but she can't groom him. It will give him a little time to heal up and it might help break her from the habit since she will have to find another behavior to occupy herself in the meantime.

Would it be better to just remove the dominant doe? I mean, she has a cage mate, and I know for a fact that it is NOT Decaf doing it, as she has a few chew marks on her while Latte has none.
