She's just lying in the corner of the cage, has been for hours, not doing anything. She looks so sad. She's still drinking, but I haven't seen her go to the food bowl at all. This is most unlike her, she's usually bouncing around, if not, at least wandering around. Could this be because she's possibly pregnant? Or could it be because I sectioned off the top floors of her cage, so now she's depressed/bored? I don't know, should I be worried?
Update on Tammy - Is she okay?

She's definitely stressed for some reason, being separated is the likely cause.
What should I do to make her less stressed?

Is her belly bigger since you think she is pregnant?
Yes, but it's not as big as some pictures I've seen, which is why I'm not sure.

but she's an older girl, so she's not going to have a normal first litter. It will likely be smaller or even be reabsorbed. I sooo wish you had a scale

I really wish I had one too.. I've let the vet know that she's possibly pregnant and it might not be a normal littler, and they've given me the out of hours number. Hopefully, if something does go wrong, it should be fine...

We got a scale today, she weighs 380g. I have no idea what she was before she gained weight though

Watch for a trend in her weight. Weigh her the same time every day, as their weight can vary throughout the day.
I'll weigh her again when I get home today.
