Your female rabbit belly is getting big and her nipples are growing?
your rabbit is either pregnant or faking a pregnancy, usually called a "fake pregnancy" When rabbits prepare for a pregnancy they usually make a nest and to pretend that they are they express the size of their stomach. If your rabbit begins to pee blood it may be pregnant and if it dosen't it is a false pregnancy. To explain the growing of your rabbits nipples is because of the exaguration of her stomach.
