Re: oopps........

She is digesting the food more quickly because she is spending more time under the heat lamp... the higher temperature speeds up the digestive process.
It couldn't hurt to allow her a little extra food, but don't go over the top.
Tupperware with a well vented lid would be ideal for the babies, but make sure the mesh is well sealed all around the edges, or the babies will simply push their way through.

From my one birthing experience, within 2-10 days of the shed itself.
