My Syrian hamster is nesting. Is she pregnant after being with a male?

Question

I got my female Syrian hamster the other day and she was with another female who just had babies. Prior to this they were in a cage with a male. She started nesting today in her hut. I know sometimes they do this for a warm place too sleep, but is there any way to tell if she’s pregnant? Pet's info: Small Animal | Hamster | Female | unspayed

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Indeed this may be just Rosie preparing herself a place to rest. I would not be too concerned as of now though if you wanted to check for a possible pregnancy, you would have to have her checked by a veterinarian for radiographs for example to see if that is the case. Best of luck!
