Is my rabbit pregnant? =[

[Rylan]

 My lionhead, Lala has been lazy and has a big belly which is soft on the side, what appears under the ribs.

 

At 3 months could this possilbly be signs of a tumor even or her being lazy and overeating as she eats plenty of timothy hay, although does not run around often though she did last night and did a few binky’s.

 

 

Thank you

There is no way for us to tell you, I think a trip to the vet is in order for sure.

Why would you think she is pregnant? Is there a male around? There is no way for us to really tell. If her tummy seems big, then you should probably take her too the vet to see what the problem is.

I’ve read your post history and saw you rescued two others as well from a petstore. PLEASE separate them immediately until you can get them professionally sexed and then fixed. Even if they are all the same sex, they will need to be separated anyways because hormones will soon play a role and they will become aggressive towards each other and make it harder to bond in the future.
Do the responsible thing and separate immediately.

Pregnancy signs are sudden aggression and eating lots! They will probably become more territorial too. And towards the last few days will pull out her fur and try building a nest out of fur and hay and anything else she can get her mouth on. At 3 months, I really hope she isn’t pregnant because that can be quite stressful on a young bun and dangerous…she could even eat her babies too.

Please separate :/

But I didn’t see a lionhead in the pictures in your previous post. How many buns do you have?

There really aren’t any signs of pregnancy until they have babies. They will secretly make a nest and give birth and you just won’t know ahead of time; you’ll just find a nest one day and a very tired mom…unless there are complications and you might have mom in the e=-vet in the middle of the night.
Nipples don’t drop until they are born and their tummy doesn’t get big at all really. The only signs you might see is she acts aggressive or territorial, which at the teenage time, you would see anyways.

Any rabbit who is not spayed or neutered needs to be kept separate until they are fixed. Constantly people have two girls or two boys who through immaculate conception (Re: missexing) find babies one day. It’s cute for a couple of hours. Finding homes and providing care (vet care$) is expensive and time consuming, not to mention the abundance of rabbits in shelters who already need homes. So if you have more than one unfixed rabbit, separate now until they are fixed, and if you suspect one is pregnant, see a vet as soon as possible.

At 3 months it is unlikely however it is a good idea to get them checked by the vet and sexed properly.
