Answer
Dear Ellie,

It is possible for your bunny to be pregnant as young as 5 months, so here's what to do to prepare, just in case:

A good rabbit vet can palpate her and tell you for sure:

If she's not pregnant (she could be having a false pregnancy), it would probably be a good idea to have the male neutered ASAP, and have her spayed once she's a little older.  Please read:

and especially

I hope this helps!
