They really don't gain weight while pregnant or when they have joeys ip. They do grow around their bellies but that is the joeys growing. Can you rub her belly? Some gliders personaities change while they have joeys ip and oop, but that isn't a guaranteed sign that your girl has joeys ip or not. I fyou are giving her extra mealies she could be gaining weight from that, I know most of mine will eat as many as I give them (even if I gave them a million they would continue to eat them! lol <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" />)

Gently rub her belly while she is sleeping, give her a mealie to distract her and just rub... if soft and squishy she does not have joeys ip, but i fyou feel a hard lump or 2 well then you have joeys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Let us know if you have any questions.
