Leave her absolutely alone! In a quiet room, no noise, even vacuums or daily noise if you can help it. Resist the urge to keep peeking in on her as this is only going to stress her. Don't disturb the nest, as this may cause her to cannibalise or abandon the young even if the next are born fine. Wait for a few days and hope to hear squeaking but you don't want to disturb for the first few weeks at all.

sounds like she's still in labour so just leave well alone and hope she does ok....the more you interfere, the more likely she is to panic and harm them. Sorry, I know how helpless you must feel but nature must take its course. Unfortunately with the stresses of being moved and handled and stuff, it doesn't look good for the litter but that's not your fault...you should have some very stiff words with the idiots at the pet shop though xxx
