My young rabbit shows pregnancy signs. What food and care?

Question

my rabbit is about 3 months and we suspect she may be pregnant (we have two rabbits, male & female) they are separated as of now but she has gotten heavier and very territorial, she gets through her hay faster than usual and seems to always be laying on her side, what should we feed her and is there any precautions we should take? Pet's info: Farm Animal | Unknown | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 11 days old | 6.6 lbs

I suggest you refer to this link for information. If she is pregnant she is pretty young. They can get pregnant as soon as 12 weeks of age but it is not that common. It is better that she not be pregnant this young so if she happens to not be pregnant then don't breed her until she is a bit older. ( https://www.petplan.co.uk/pet-information/blog/a-guide-to-rabbit-pregnancy/ ) For food I recommend good quality alfalfa hay and good quality pellets - like Oxbow: ( ) ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/oxbow-essentials-adult-rabbit-food )
