Answer
I don't know about "feeling" the babies in her stomache, because I never tried that. She can come out of the cage, just don't make her exercise too much. Also, you can clean the cage, but after the babies are born you'll need to clean around her nest. Just feed her what she normally eats, and let her do whatever you normally do with her. Just don't put too much pressure on her what you pick her up. Hope this helps.
