Are you sure she is pregnant? She is so young to be mated even once le. Can it be that you're feeding her well and she's adding weight because of it? All the female GPs in my house have a rounded belly. 3 square meals a day, how come won't be le.

i duno ..
tht y i ask here lor....
coz i touch my sheltie tummy there..
even he is full ...
his tummy wont round like Amy....
but when i touch Amy...
her tummy was so round...n not soft soft tht type..
quite hard 1...........
i oso din dare hold her much......

moozz..
how bout the teats?
do the teats getting bigger?

i didnt notice tht...
coz she doesnt like me to hold her ...
not like sheltie......
whenever i hold her...
i touch her belly is so round n hard.....
now i din hold her much.....

Can be an indication that there are other problems... Like humans, a hard stomach can indicate an unhealthy appendix (I don't remember how to spell it).

Hold her up and check her teats lar. It's important right.

okok...later check her n see...
n continue weight her ....
if her weight continue to increase...
then really prepare ady......
last few days i really thought she eat too much...
coz she eat more than sheltie......
pellets hay vege....all oso more.....
but starting to notice that she got hard tummy.....

Yit, she is growing mar. Isn't it normal to eat more at the growing stage? Sheltie has already reached his size. Will eat the standard portion. GPs will eat when they're hungry and stop when they're full. That's why they like to call call when they're hungry mar. Don't panic first.

emm how did u hold her eh?
hold her and take her outside the cage or just touch her stomach while she's in the cage? because if u managed to hold and looked at her stomach then u surely can see the teats..

LOL....if Amy now ady 5 months or 6 months old...
n got round n hard tummy
then i wont panic jor.......
but she now only almost 2 months old...
if jus eat too much n gt round tummy ...it's okie..
but if really pregnant......then she really suffer ady........
hope she jus eat too much only.......

but 5 or 6 months is the proper age to get pregnant. You sure Sheltie is not the daddy?

And does she drink more water than usual?

yea i am sure...
coz i only mix them together when i put vege for them..
they both like together is just so fun ...
n Sheltie didnt do with her.......
jus walking around.
eating together.......

water ar..jus normal..
cz she usually get water from carrot n vege i give..
she seldom drink water....

I don't have experience in pregnant GPs but I know that they will gain weight, their teats will grow larger and they will drink more water than usual. We cannot tell if she's pregnant by her weight in this case because she is still a growing GP and will add weight on her own without the pregnancy.

And I still think you're being too overcautious. Maybe she isn't pregnant. Check out her teats and see k?

yea sure i wil...
overcautious is good
need to plan n prepare in case she really pregnant...
hehe.....jus hope she really jus grow up n gain weight....

Yeah but overcautious until panic at every little small sign is not good for you and Amy mar.

Let us know as soon as possible if there are changes.

Added on June 2, 2008, 5:01 pmHmm.. so for u its a good news or not? hehehe.. coz if its true ur GP will increase and lucky u can get dat experience.
In my experience, I see there is different with their belly not pregnant and pregnant, if she's pregnant the belly round and when u touch it u feel like hav stone inside it, but if she's not pregnant the belly still round(fat of course) and soft.
Either she's betul2 pregnant or not, just be prepare the diet for 2++ months.

When my GPs pregnant I always give them vitamin C everyday either veggies or tablet like dis,



if veggies refer to this page Veggies high in vit C
I always give the first one also known as capsicum

Dont forget alfalfa hay, ur water bottle always full of water, like mine drink a lot of water, i don know urs.

I never bath when my GPs pregnant scare she cant take it.

About their tits, i'm not sure, its look same for me, I never see directly at their tits when they pregnant, coz scare hurt their belly and babies.
Even sometimes I really worry when try to pick them up not scare of them but scare of their condition. I always put towel on the floor after they stand on the towel, baru la I angkat.
