Question
ok I figure the youngest she was when I got her was 6 weeks meaning she was born around December 12th of 2007... if she could get pregnant at three weeks that's around January 2nd... I know gestation is between 59-73 days... so about how long does she have to go. I mean she looks larger and she weighs 1 pound and 2 and 1/2 ounces. but she isn't as huge as some pictures as I've seen and I still don't understand how to tell if her pelvic bones have separated...

thanks
Bree

P.S. please answer soon I think she's getting close because this morning it was like she was "hiccuping" all around her cage but then she stopped and was fine again but all she does in the morning besides walk around a little is eat and drink almost non stop... THANKS!

Answer
Hello Bree

I hope you are well :)

She is quite close, certainly within the next 2 weeks based on my calculations. (I'm not very good at maths)

The pelvic thing is very difficult to describe and I dont have a picture but I am told you will recognise it when it happens because the bones part a few inches.
