Re: Babies
They'll be about 4.5 weeks old now, so if you mean handling them, you can do that after 2 weeks, if mom reacts well. If you mean as far as moving them into their own cage, that has to wait until they're weaned and eating kibble on their own, usually around 6 weeks. You don't want to wait longer than 6-7 weeks to separate male babies from mom, since they'll start to become sexually mature and will attempt to mate with mom or sisters.

Re: Babies
If the mom is fine with you handling the babies, you should be giving them daily handling. It's important for their socialization.
