We have been waiting FOREVER! I believe Lily has been expecting for years now. We have been watching babies move around inside her tummy for days, she looks like a bubble, and she can't possibly be comfortable. Yet, she still gets on her wheel and walks. We have a Wodent wheel, so her tummy touches on both sides! We were hoping for Easter pups. No nest building that I can see. She eats hay all day long. When she stands up, you can barely see her tiny little hands. She's beautiful! ;D Does anyone know if the pups get still before birth like most humans do? I say most because my youngest son NEVER stopped moving, even during labor! He's 11, and hasn't stopped yet! We are all just getting SO anxious! We have people waiting for pups, so we get phone calls, and I tell everyone that I'll call them the day they're born. I think it's funny how some people wake up to find several pups when they never knew they we going to have any. Lilly can barely fit through some of her "tunnels". Everyone keep your fingers crossed for a healthy and happy litter!

In Mocha's case I was assured she was a he!! The people at the pet shop were no help at all. When "he" started to get huge I was afraid I'd been feeding him too much. I did extensive research on the internet not knowing who to ask. I felt the babies moving and said if I didn't know better I would thing HE was pregnant then got frantic thinking I'd given him bad gas and colic feeding too much fresh wheat grass. I'd even got on here after just finding this board and commented. Just a few days later I was home with the flu when she gave birth.

just an update. still no pups. lilly is gaining a lot of weight. since saturday, she's up 5 grams. she weighed 185 grams before pregnancy. she's now 270 grams! don't worry, i'm not picking her up to weigh her. she gets her jar, i weigh her in the jar, then subtract the jar weight. she seems happy and very active. those pups are always having a party in her tummy, bouncing all around. i'll keep you posted
