Answer 1

I few ways... you can have someone show you how to palpate her stomach.  It is hard to learn w/o it being demonstrated.

You can test mate them about 2 weeks after they mated, and if the female fights aggressively when she sees the male its a sign she's pregnant

Or, you could wait until day 28-31 and observe her making a nest!

That sound is sometimes an indication to me that my animals are pregnant.  Its not for sure, but I notice my females getting a little testy when they're pregnant and making that "eumf" sound.  But you won't see her belly getting bigger (dont increase the food since you want room for the babies to be delivered and fat will compromise this space), or color changes in her fur.  You'll see her start to molt really badly in preparation for pulling the hair and making a nest.

The most important part of the birth is making the proper nestbox.  Read a lot about it!  They're not hard to breed, but you do need to know a few things.
