She could be pregnant, but she may also just have ovulated (they swell when they ovulate). If the male doesn't seem interested any more, try taking him out for one or two days and putting him back. Someone suggested this to me when my male hog island stopped showing interest after only being with the female for a week - and it worked like a charm.

Usually it takes several weeks to make sure the male has had a chance to deposit enough sperm - better to leave him in with her for longer than take the chance of having a nice big litter of unfertilized slugs....
