Default Pregnant Tenrec?

Hi, dont suppose anybody on here has bred these before and could give me a little info
Basically when i had hold of one of them today i noticed she had quite a fat little belly on her and her teats were slightly swollen. Just wondering if anybody knew how long the gestation period is for them and how fat they get before they have them.
Had a look on the net but can find very little information on them.
Any info greatly appreciated
