Pulling out fur is not a certain sign of pregnancy by itself.
It is not unusual for a jung female to be what I'ld call fake pregnant.
This holds especially if two or more females which are not neutered are kept
together.

Determining whether or not a rabbit is pregnant is not particularily easy.
If you are extremely!!! careful you can feel the babys inside the belly
during the last 10 days of pregnancy.

Nevertheless, I'ld put the two rabbits apart and give the female one a place
to deliver - a box where she can hide with lots of hay.

That doesn't sound like a male...

I would separate them right away. For one thing -- if she is a she and
pregnant, she can get pregnant right away again after birth. You could
walk in to find new babies and a pregnant mother!

You might want to take them to the vet for a check-up. They can be
spayed and neutered at about 4 mos., so it's time for both. Also, the
male can still impregnate for about a month after neutering, so keep
that in mind -- some accidental pregnancies have happened that way.

Let us know what happens!
