My daughter bought a 5 month old female Hedgie from a pet store about a month ago there was a male and another female in the cage with her. In the course of a month she has gotten huge i believe she is pregnant we have Put her in a nice big cage in the back bedroom and are a nervous wreck. Its been 35 days today since we brought her home no sign of babies yet. The last week she has been blocking the entrance to her nest and only coming out to eat and drink a lot of water. What are the signs to look for if she is pregnant? Her back end seems really large
 
Blocking the entrance may be a sign that she is about to have babies. And, certainly, if she's had them, the behavior you're describing fits in perfectly with what a new mommy hedgie would do.

I'd hang in there a few more days, because 35 isn't an exact number.

Take a look at the sticky on this board: http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2219
