Answer
Hello Lianna,
you probably have a standard hamster. You will only really be able to tell physically if she's pregnant just a few days before the pregnancy. Some signs you will notice during the pregnancy is the hamster getting more aggressive, building a nest, sleeping more and eating and drinking more. Also, I would take the wheel out if she's pregnant. I'd also take out the levels if you can too. You don't want the babies falling off the levels and you don't want the mom putting the babies in the wheel and then going around the wheel. I hope this helps.
