Hi Anthony
What I do is clean out a day or two before she is due
to litter, add extra layer of Auboise (hemp cores) or
if you use shavings extra of that, and bedding, if you
do find that you need to clean them out, I ignore the
area where the babies are and just remove the soiled
litter the other end, when babies are two weeks old
you can do a full clean anyway, but just put a small
amount ofhte nest back in the same corner with babies
in. hope this is of some help to you.
