Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is hard to know if she is fat or pregnant. If she has been in with a male in the past month she very well could be pregnant. The other female mouse might eat the babies, so I would separate the mice if she does have babies. Best of luck with your little ones!
