Whenever my ladies are pregnant, I do move them to the 'birthing box'. Which is a very large plastic box, which lives in the spare room which temporarily becomes the nursery away from all the others and noise...

I don't know about moving her now as she may get upset with the new place. Maybe you could take out the extensions and leave just the large tank section of the rotastack (I don't trust babies and bars!).

She may move the nest about with time, sometimes when it's not clean enough or when they're wandering about. They tend to amble about from 2 weeks but usually only get really active when their eyes open which can happen from 2 weeks or later...

It's all very exciting, I absolutely love watching them develop and their little characters come out.

I would try and find homes for them, mine go to friends, colleagues, someone who knows someone.... so I can always keep up with them.
