Unique situation here...

Hello, I am not new to having Syrian hamsters, as have two before adding two more from my local shelter on July 11...here is my slightly bizarre tale: when I went to my local SPCA to sign up for their foster program I ended up adopting the last 2 of 5 hamsters surrendered to them on July 1st. I can tell by their size that they are not babies, but have no idea on their actual age, yet they were living together in a critter trail cage...snuggled up to sleep etc., just bare necessities in cage...bedding, water bottle, food bowl and 2 wood chews. I was told they were both females...one golden and one white and that the flesh eared white one was blind, so they were afraid to separate them. I got them home, got a good look at them and the white one is blind in only one eye(it's all white in the middle), but he is most definitely NOT a female!. Needless to say, they are living in separate cages in my care...and not the critter trail, that thing's only good for clean outs, lol! My concern now is that the female could be pregnant...she is chubby looking, with what could be baby bumps at her sides. What are my chances that she's just a lumpy older female and not actually expecting? I am still processing the fact that they lived together without hurting each other! I have her on pregnancy watch for the next two weeks, just in case, but really have no idea when to expect babies if she is indeed pregnant. Any advice at this point, or is it just watch and wait? They are both friendly and not scared of me, but I've not handled them yet as to give them a chance to settle in properly...they've been thru allot the last weeks.
