ok, this morning i woke up and when i went to get my couple ot feed them i notice she had a belly. its not a big belly but it sticks out of her body. i know for sure she is pregnant because i check her everyday and she never had it before. ok, so my question is how do i take care of her. i mean, i know the male has to be with her and that she needs extra protein and vitamins and calcium but when is she going to give birth or what is there in special that i need to do for her.

this is the first time in a year that shes pregnant. i got them both when they were babies so they matured together.
