Default Re: need help with possibly pregnant syrian from pet store

I can’t tell from the photos if she may be pregnant really, someone with breeding experience might have a better idea, if you think she may be then keeping the substrate as deep as possible would be the best thing, add in some extra shredded toilet tissue as well so she can make a big nest if she needs to, if the hideout has no base & is just one the substrate then leave that in, I wouldn’t change anything much at all unless you have to just try not to disturb her if she does appear to be nesting, it is difficult if you have a new ham & want to try to tame & bond, if she appears to want to interact then that’s fine but otherwise I would be inclined to leave her be, not disturb her nest or clean until you know one way or another if she has had pups, don’t be tempted to look in the nest & give lots of food just in case.
