Could she be pregnant?

Hi everyone,
I have a question that I am hoping you all can help me with. I think my bun might be pregnant !:shock:
Yesterday when I was out, two of my buns escaped from their homes. Since one is male and the other a female they don't "play together". I found my male bun hoping around happy as can be. But my female was hiding underneath a dresser.
Since last night she has been very aggressive. She growls if any of us try to touch her. She actually bit my daughter. Forget bringing another bun near her...she simply goes insane.
Her mother, Oreoelle, gave birth last December. Now Oreoelle became aggressive only to other buns while she was pregnant and it was only during her last 2 weeks of pregnancy.
Of course the chance of pregnancy is there...but would she show the signs sooo early?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks..

m not a expert, but the reason your female bunny might be like that might be because of the experience she just had.. If she is on her own she will be very territorial and at the moment feels challanged by everything because the bunny has proberly challanged her..
I guess neither of them are neutered so get her checked out as there may be a possibilty that she is pregnant.
Hope this helps :D
 
There is every chance she could be - she may also be aggresive 'cause she was frightened about what just happened :shock:

Even if she is not, then I would put this down to experience and get the bunnies spayed/neutered ASAP to avoid any "accidents".

Hope she is okay :D

i would advise you to take her down to the vets and find out rather than waiting. you have to realise that if you dont put a stop to it you could end up with lots of babies all that will be looking for good homes, which are sometimes very difficult to find.
