Sick Hamster

[Donnamom]

I just had a question about my hamster. She seems like she might be pregnant. She escaped the same night as our other hamster. Needless to say, sixteen days later she seemed like she was going to give birth....made a nest, panting, extra active. Sixteen days has come and gone. She is bulging out the sides and contines to build up a bigger nest???????????

What kind of hamster is she? Also, some gestation periods will last longer then others. It seems like she is pregnant...if you're worried then take her to the vet.

the gestation period for Dwarfs is 21 days, syrians are 16 but I had one go almost 25.
