Phantom Pregnancy?

[babygoo]

sooo basically i was just wondering if degus get phantom pregnancies? As im atarting to think i may have got it wrong when i said Squeak was pregnant. This is because she looks like she is starting to get smaller again but no babies? It may just loo that way because shes moving around more rather than being all hunched up but i was wondering if this was a possibility?

thanks

I havnt yet trusted her to leave her cage as i did quite a few weeks back (before she got fat) and she managed to get around my degu proofed room and got behind my bed and wouldnt come out! so im hadling her more nnow until shes more used to me, although shes gotten so funny about me even being near the cage :L
So i dont think her having them somewhere else would be possible

I think shes playing games to worry me lol

I havnt heard any babies

So saturday is usually the big clean out day, if shes going to have babies soon should i leave their cage as it is or is it ok to be cleaned?
Thanks again

Thanks. Its been quite a while since she put on the weight. I know I need to be patient with it but I'm such a worryer when it comes to my animals! Lol any little change and I go into panik mode lol. I was expecting them soon as I remeber reading somewhere that her nipples would be obvious about a week before birth and they've been up more than a week. (As I'm being very annoying I feel I should explain I have asperger's syndrome and if I've been told something like 'the nipples will come up a week before birth' I do worry when it doesn't happen :L sorry!! Thanks again xx
