ok, I know gestation is 16 days, in pouch 2 months,  when in the 2 month time can you be sure they are pg.  Female looks to be pg,  I either want her to be really bad or there are 2 bumps on each side of her pouch opening, but they don't look big,  size of a peanut, out of the shell. How fast do they grow?
      Ha anyone ever  heard of ear tagging sg's?  I seen one  a female, and each of her ears, look like they have a perfect 1/2 circle taken out of  the tips of her ears.  Like some on used a paper punch on her. Not saying they did, but that's  how I can describe it the easiest.
    For those of you who have several,  are they all in one cage, or do you have a pair in different cages?  I would like to find a mate for my extra baby male?  Would I have one happy family or would I need two cages?  There current cage is 6 ft H x 6ft L x 3ft Deep.  I had the room and wanted to give them all I could,  I did this size because the wire came in 3 ft width. The base I used an old bath tub.  Filled it with tree branches and rope and wheel and toys. This size cage how many could it house?
