I read your reply you left on my other thread and that sounds awful ): definitely don't want that to happen so thanks for the heads up! I think it is for the best that they get seperated.

How do I know if she's happened to have fallen pregnant already and what do I do if it has happened?

Thanks a lot (:

If she's pregnant, Well, she'll start nesting, pulling out fur, and generally be so busy she may not make the best pet till the babies are weaned! Soon, she'll rapidly gain weight and, for a larger litter, look like she swallowed a golf ball.

I've included a picture of my Zelda about 10 hours before she had her babies(I knew she was pregnant).

I would weigh her and see if she gains much, that might help. Also, give her 2-3 tissues. Generally, they will rip them up and put them in her nest. What bedding do you use?
