Congrats. Hope your little coaster fills her nest by morning.
To me, any rodent that is carrying a full load of babies always
looks like a big round coaster on legs. They just sort of waddle
around looking miserable those last few days.
Make their week, shred a few sheets of the ol' standby (unscented
undyed toilet paper) and dump it in a likely corner for them to
spend their time rearranging it into a nest. I find it works much
better than teaching them to knit or something...to allow the
mom to be something useful to work off some of that energy
AND fill her time until the blessed event.

I agree with you Bill. After listening to Hanson, I might just do that...
although I just spent the evening with the mite spray fighting that
war again and that usually makes me pretty sick the day after (Me
and the spray don't get along, but it sure zaps the buggers. I am
in the middle of getting rid of a new infestation from ONE missed
hamster from the last round of fighting them; which came from the
rescued animals on 1 June. Which I quarrentined, and didn't know
that apparently some mites caught a ride with me or something...)

Riiiight Bill.
Do beware Paige, things have a way of being named FOR you...
