She looks like an Aby. Is she? I have an Aby that is like that, she always looks preggy but she isn't, she is just chubby.

I have an abby and she is huge. I thought she was pregnant for a while but now I think she's just fat ;). I think the fur makes her look a little bigger, too. She is the more dominant one, though, and gets a whole lot to eat :)

The only signs really are getting pear shaped, feeling babies move and hearing babies grind their teeth. With my Chatty, who isn't an aby, I didn't even know she was pregnant at all. One day there were just 3 new additions in the cage. I didn't know that Moppy was pregnant either until after Chatty had her pups and I examined the rest of my sows for signs of pregancy and felt movement in Moppy's tummy.

Well I haven't felt movement so I am thinking that she isn't, but I am still unsure..I will have to have my mom, a nurse, check her. Thanks

You generally won't feel movement until they are several weeks pregnant.
