They sure can, most females do get them fromwhat I've seen....My female mini lop really doesn't have one...but myFlemish that was born in March is already developing one!

I wouldn't worry. Amber, who was spayed in late July, has a fairly sizeable one.

It is common for most females to have them.

It is not a sign that they are overweight either.

If you look under my home thread Zee's Zany Zoo, you can see Lop with one huge dewlap.

Poppy is just over a year old, and i can see the start of a dewlap on her.

I wouldn't be worried though, it's quite normal.
