a degu is pregnant for about 90days and its hard to tell if she is untill about 15days before she gives birth.
Good luck!

I have bred before and yes the female will tend to eat more. The day she will give birth she will walk very funny with her back legs spread and alot slower then normal. You can check in, degus are not shy so they really dont mind you watching. She will have 3-8, 5 is normal for a breeder 2-3 is good for a first time. I can check on how much shipping would be if you would like. If you have any other questions id be glad to answer.
