I would need to see better pics to identify if she's gravid or not. To me, it appears she has a blockage. I had an albino that looked almost indentical to this. We performed x-rays and then carefully gave her a mineral oil enema while using our hands to work the blockaged down. It took several attempts but worked fine and the rest of her pregnancy went fine.
I am assuming that your female is holding up in the gravid position?
