Is My Hamster Pregnant?

[AnimalLoverB]

I have a Hamster. I have had it for about 2 weeks. She kept getting a little bit fatter. I thought maybe I was feeding her to much but I dont feed her alot. I think she might be pregnant but I am not sure. Her belly sticks out a little and she makes nest and lays down alot. She wont run in her ball like she did before. If she is pregnant I had two girls so she would have to be pregnant from the pet store. I just need to know some signs of pregnancy for hamsters. She runs on her wheel but the other hamsters goes fast The one I think is pregnant just walks really slow. Is she just fat or could she be pregnant? Can someone give me some signs or something?

I know someone who got two males, but one turned out to be a girl and they had little babies. If they are those little dwarf hamsters you really can't tell. Go to the vet.

We had two Russian hamsters which were meant to be both girls but we found 4 babies in the cage after hearing little squeaks. I think the gestation period is only 16 days in Syrians and around 18-21 days in Russian hamsters.. I would just wait and see what happens.
