French lop pregnancy

22 11:09:09

Question
I think my french lop is pregnant, it will be her first pregnancy and she isn't a cuddly bunny she won't be picked up at all or stroked much so do you think she will make a good mum or do the breed normally make good mothers? And i can't see that she has really put on any weight and she should be 3 weeks 5 days gone, may she actually be pregnant especially as it is winter. Thanks very much!

Answer
Winter makes it less likely that she is pregnant. wwww.islandgems.net/palpation.html tells you how to do a pregnacy check. I doubt she is pregnant though if she is not gaining weight. She should make a good  mom. If she is protective of her self while pregnant usually they do take good care of little ones.
