  Did you get her checked out by the vet? It could be or it could be that she is now getting the right food and it makes her tummy look bigger

  It could be because she is malnourished. It could also be just the way she is laying too. Does her tummy feel doughy?

  yes, this rabbit with the round belly needs a vet to figure out what is wrong! It could be a worm load inside her. Please keep us posted.

  i took her to the vet earlier cuz she’s having poopy butt for the past 3 days.they had to keep her.the vet said it might be an inflammation inside her that causes the pot belly.vet’s gonna do another fecal float too and if there’s worms in her,she’s gonna be dewormed.im gonna pick her up tomorrow.
