She does look a little fat and she appears to have a alight swelling down sort of in between her front legs.

My girl has that same swelling and is also getting tubby. With us the swelling is gular edema and we suspect that she is gravid also. Gular edema as far as I understand can be associated with egg production.

Have you got a laying bin prepared for her? I've learned almost everything I know about keeping females from jannbs blog

Just make sure she can get to the sand easily. I'm assuming you've going to remove her to a separate laying bin once she starts digging. Angie has provide you the link you need to read to get ready for that. Don't wait until she starts digging to prepare the bin.

I've had the sand in there for a few days and she didn't seem to take interest in it.... She actually seemed like she didn't like it... Should I put her in the bin anyways?

Yeah I would say its time for a bigger home for the girl. She will be much healthier in the end because of it.
