Why are you breeding from a doe who's still growing? They need to become fully grown adults before having to go through the stress of carrying and then caring for a litter. It also gives them time to grow up mentally, so they are ready to raise a litter in their heads.

If you can get a pic of her standing on her hind legs, that's usually the easiest way to tell if she's pregnant or not.
