my gerbils won't breed..?

ok so I have this boy and girl.. have had them more slightly more than 2months now.. the girl, gave birth approximately 7weeks ago, about 2.5weeks after I got them both.. so the pups have grown and are done weaning.. so by right, the second litter should be "on the way" already right? but the female is as small as ever.. no signs of pregnancy.. they are both eating well and sleep together.. I thought maybe because her maternal instincts haven't left her, so I even separated the pups and the parents at week6.. which was last week.. so any advice?

extra qn: I used the "shelter" in that the pups were used to in their new tank.. so I got the parents a new "shelter".. but they don't seem to want to use it.. any reason for this?
