I have suspected my female violet Aurora (2 yrs old) is pregnant. She is exhibiting all of the "typical" signs of pregnancy plus I've recorded in the past month that she has gained about 40 grams of weight. I weigh her at the same time once a week when I clean her cage. When I was holding her gently before weighing yesterday I noticed that in 5 days she gained 10 grams and I felt a little something under her belly. I gently lifted her and blew some air into her fur and could clearly see a nipple. My question is how long are the nipples usually? I would say that her nipples yesterday we about 1/2-3/4 of a CM long Example: |---|. Not yet as long as her fur but I felt like this was a sure elongation. Are they usually smaller than that when not pregnant? Or is that normal length? If this is obvious elongation I'd assume that this means she's only a few weeks shy of delivery?
