How long until my hamster gives birth after nesting and hoarding?

Question

Okay so I put up a question about wet tail earlier I decided to change her entire cage to see if that would help her eat and drink more and it's been 4hours and so far I've noticed a increase in eating and drinking much more. Her butt from what I can tell is drying up so that's a relief. I'm still going to keep watch. However I'd like a suggestion on how long you think till she'll be in labour. She's been nesting for 4 total day, hoarding her food and all. Do you think it will be soon?

Gestation in hamsters averages about 16 days. Labor and delivery can be quick or can take a few hours. It really depends on the size of the litter. If she is nesting, leave her be. Stress or excessive handling may delay labor. Simply provide clean bedding and materials for her as well as food and water.
