Gestation takes about three weeks. Just keep them comfortable and be patient. It always seems slow until the colony’s established, then it seems like there’s new pinkies every day whether you want them or not!

If she’s pregnant, then they’re coming. That old "They can get get pregnant the day aftere they give birth, kick the older, weaned babies out of the nest, and start with a new littwer every three weeks" thing is exaggerated. I mean, yes, it’s physically possible, but not really normal. Not all sex results in pregnancy. If she didn’t get knocked up again until a few weeks after the last ones were born, then still being pregnant would be normal.

The mom lookslike she is about to lay her babies because the pinkies are being pushed down closer to the rear end. Thanks for telling me that though
