Answer
Hello Jennifer,

I guess there would be a few questions to ask yourself before making any decisions on whether she is pregnant, sick or just growing.

Is your temps correct? 85-92 degrees
Is the humidity levels correct? 60-65%
Is she still eating? 1 every week
Do you notice her drinking?
Last one is she losing weight? This one needs to be allot of weight quickly.

If your answers to these questions is either at the level I suggested or are yes for the first few and no to the last. You really should not worry.

Hope this help,
Eric Rovegno
