Answer
Hi Cloe !

1) very good if you keep the cage and nest clean and the Doe has clean water all the time and a good pellet with 18 % protein at all times plus a handful of dry fiber.
2) also very good - a doe has 8 teats - 7 is a very good number for a litter
3) as I said in number 1.  You can add to the does feed
( in a dish apart ) 1/2 cup of rolled oats a day in the evening (rolled oat - NOT instant ) - also a Tablespoon of un salted sunflower seeds in their hulls twice a week is good for the milk supply.
Make sure the nest is always clean and dry - at day 7 you need to change all the nesting materials to clean.

There is nothing more adorable than 15 day old kits !
