If it has been over a month since she has been with a male hamster and hasn't gone into labor than she is probably not pregnant. The normal gestation in 15-21 days. She may have been experiencing a false pregnancy or she may be exhibiting signs of an illness. Have a vet take a look at her to determine the cause.
