yes it's normal as long as you cant see the hip bones and it looks full and rounded. They seem to have fairly loose skin around the sides

What if the female is gravid and you see the shaggy skin, is that normal??

If she's standing and nothing is supporting a big old egg belly you shouldn't see much slack in the skin, but if she's lying down with the weight of the eggs fully supported sometimes the skin looks looser than before she became gravid.
