Since Amy had seven and Padme had 4, we took one from Amy that looked like it needed more feeding and fostered it to Padme. I took the box out, put the kit in, covered with fur and replaced box. Mom came over, sniffed around, got in the box (this had me worried!) and promptly started nursing/cleaning the kits. When she was done, I looked in and the foster (I marked it's ears with sharpie) was laying on its back, smacking its milky lips and looked like a beach ball! 
:clap: Yay Padme! She seems to have the makings of an excellent mother. When I checked this morning, all were butterball round and warm and cozy.
Amy's remaining six were well fed and happy, they just won't stay covered up!
We actually took Amy out last night and pulled more fur using a shedding tool. She was so good about it. Then this morning, all the fur was on the bottom of the nest again! I pulled it out to cover them up because it was cool and wet this morning. Now, checking Leia's litter from yesterday, there are two that seem to be not getting fed really. It could be that the nest was at the back of the box and they were kind of stuck in the corners, so I made a hole in the center of the box and put them all there and covered with fur.
If that does not work, should I foster one of Leia's to Padme as well? My only concern is that Padme's have a few scratches, like she is stepping on them. Otherwise they look fat and healthy.
