Pet's info: Small Animal | Guinea Pig | Female | unspayed
My female hamster (Minie) was sharing a cage with my male hamster (Fluffy) for about 2 weeks. She looks a bit swollen up around her belly. She is drinking a lot of water and she seems very restless. How can I be sure that she is pregnant? Also, if she is, what should I feed her to make sure she stays fit? I have separated the male as they were fighting a lot. I also try and keep her cage very clean. What else should I do to make sure she stays comfortable and healthy?

Thanks for reaching out about Esther and including photos. She does appear large. Keep her quiet and warm, do not disturb her. Don't change her diet now. Wait until she is less stressed. Good luck.
