It’s hard to determine whether a hamster is pregnant based on her body size, right up until a couple days before delivering. Then, especially with a large litter, she can look huge and LUMPY.

I have an 8 month old Jack Russel. She came into heat for the first time about 4 weeks ago now. about 2weeks into it she just stopped bleeding, but now her teats are still huge and seem to be getting milk in them.

Everytime I would catch them they hadn't done anything yet, but there still may be a chance that I wasn't always quick enough.
