Well it could be all of the above. When they breed they leave a mating plug, a waxy thing. Did you see anything like that? When you think they are pregnant you are supposed to weigh them to see how much they gained. What you can do is pick her up gently and feel her belly GENTLY, you will feel movement, depends of if she is pregnant and how far along she is. She may not have been pregnant. How old is she and how long have they been together? My first pair took a year to breed. That was the longest, the rest pretty quick.

I have seen them go the full 120 days, so how way over do you think she could be?
Have you weighed her, or felt life in the kits?
Is she laying on her side a lot? Is she drinking more water and peeing more? Or spending more time on the floor?
She could have gotten pregnant a month or more after you thought and is now only showing.
Further information needed to give a vote for any of the above choices.
