Alright, last time I went on here was probably at least a year ago, and I joined a little over 3 years ago when I thought my rabbit was pregnant the FIRST time. -_-;
So if anyone remembers me, I still have Emmy, my dwarf hotot mix, her son Ollie, who is half French lop, and we do have a new addition - Lio the dwarf lionhead.
Lio is supposedly spayed, Emmy and Ollie are not. I recently built them cube cages and used binder clips to secure the doors (hey, it works for the pigs and rats...), but of course my little troublemaker, Ollie, managed to shake his doors open, and he also managed to get the girls' doors open!
That was on the 9th, and I am now kicking myself for not getting either one of them neutered in the first place. I kept telling myself that I was going to get Ollie altered, but sadly, (and worse excuse ever) I "never got around to it." *sigh*
What's worse, I'm pretty certain Ollie mated with Emmy, because he got out a second time within a week after that and was found by my girlfriend the next morning, trying to mate with Emmy in her cage. Of course, I'm not sure how long he was out each time, because both times I found them when I got up in the morning, so he could have done it any time of the night. The only weird part is that Emmy was still in the cage both times. Normally she'd be out roaming with the other two, given the chance. But then again, who knows.
Anywho, it's been so long since I've dealt with a pregnant rabbit, so I wanted a second opinion on if anyone thinks she is or not. I got a bunch of pictures of her at different angles, but before I post them, I wanted to ask-should she even be showing by now? Supposing she mated onthe 9th, that was about two weeks ago. I know that their gestation is a month, but I don't remember when they start showing. And what if she mated after the 9th? Still a chance she might be showing?
Also, she's 6 years old...what are the risks? I've heard that a lot of rabbits go sterile by this age, and that it's dangerous for such an old rabbit to get pregnant. I'm extremely worried about her.
She's clearly not overweight, and she feels and lookspretty round.
(Please ignore the fact that I'm not wearing any pants. For all you know it could be a swimsuit! X3;;; )
Nipples - note that I blew on the fur to make them show; they're not sticking out THAT much.
Here's what she usually looks like (pictures taken in February).
Argh, yeah, I'm pretty sure she's preg, but I still want a second opinion...I think the next step is finding avet that spays for less than $400...
