Okay now I'm begginning to wonder about Jynx, she's acting a bit more timid now, as if all of our progress is down the drain. She also seems to have put on a lot of weight. I've got her in a snuggle sack now in hopes that being so close to my scent will help renew the progress I had made with her, so that just in case she is pregnant by the time she pops she'll be used to me again. I guess I'm just being fretful and wanted to rant, but are there anymore signs personality wise I should be looking for. I also noticed she's not sleeping in her usual spot under the ramp, and is now sleeping burrowed in but not covered in an open spot in the cage? If you have any thoughts let me know!

She's probably pregnant.

If her attitude has changed that dramatically, then she is probably pregnant. Watch closely for nesting behavior. If you are using newspapers for bedding it will be very obvious as she will shred them and bring them into her nest area. I would suggest that you take her to a vet and get a general due date figured out and a few days before she's due, give her cage a through cleaning and after she gives birth LEAVE HER ALONE!!! Do NOT interact with her except for feeding until the babies are about 2 weeks old otherwise she WILL kill them. I've got personal experience with this, and should you have to hand feed babies, use puppy milk replacer formula in small amounts about every 2-3 hours and be sure you use a warm, damp cotton ball to stimulate them to go the the bathroom after every feeding. If she has babies and you need help, my email address is elfin_princess01@hotmail.com. i hope this helps. This is from a friend of Mystic.
