okay, so i have 5 degus at the moment. I origonally had 2 males and then got another 3 males, however, being half way thro introducing them to each other i noticed that Nacho looked more like a girl after looking at the sexing section on this site. So i checked the others and sure enough i have 3 girls. I have them in seperate cages, but one of my girls is about twice the size of the other 2, she got big pretty fast, so i fear she may be pregnant :S
She's been getting big for the past few weeks now, and you can really notice it and she doesn't want to be handled or move about as much as the others.
If she is pregnant is there anything i can do to help and will my boys be ok being kept in the same room as the girls, but seperate cages?
any help or advice would be much appreciated

Nothing for you to do except provide your pregnant female with a nice clean box of some kind to use for a nest box and either bedding material bought at the pet store or what works just as well, some torn up paper towels. Make sure you keep the cage clean and have clean water and food readily available to her at all times. She will take care of the rest!
Yes your boys will be ok in the same room in a separate cage.
