Teach me!

I put in to foster 10 hedgies from the TX, I know about baby chins, I know a little about baby hedgies, like leave them alone or mom will eat them, make sure the area is warm enough, etc.

They continue to let everyone know that some of these girls may be pregnant, how can I tell? Obviously a round belly, anything else? How long is gestation? I'd want to make sure I don't send a pregnant hedgie out into the world to a home who's not ready for that!

Anyone have a link to a crash course on hedgie pregnancy?! I figure I better study up just in case I need it, so I can be prepared!

I'm going to ready more on here as well, just wanted to ask too!

Thanks! My girls are excited and it sounds like we might have a couple people in the area interested in adopting once they are deemed healthy and ready to go!
 
Because of how long it is taking for the hedgehogs to be released the likelihood of getting a pregnant female is being reduced greatly.
