feeding momma

This is my first litter and momma and her 5 two week old kits look great.
They are so adorable and I promise a photo update this weekend.

My question is about what I should be doing for her.
I am giving her twice the feed she was getting and she still
seems hungry. Should I give her all she wants and
is there anything else she should get (she has hay of course)
I don't want to shock her system with new food but I know nursing is
hard on her.

Nursing does and their kits should be free-fed, meaning they get all they want. Don't change her feed at this point, just give her more of what you've been giving her.
