Baby ferrets should not be disturbed or handled by humans for about the first week, because a Jill may feel threatened and might cannibalize her babies
Are the baby ferrets are old enough to be without their mother (weaned and eating solid foods), then there shouldn't be any problem putting them back with the mother.

When should I cage my two ferrets and when should I let them free roam?
Ferrets are not caged animals, but you cage them for their protection. Most ferret owners cage ferrets when they're not at home or unable to supervise them when free roaming. Ferrets need about 4 hours daily time out of their cage in a ferret proofed environment. Ferrets being burrowing animals by nature are subject to crawl and fall asleep into places that can be dangerous and you cannot get them out, like in major appliances, couches, recliners (very dangerous for ferrets). I personally do not cage my ferrets, but keep them in a bedroom totally ferret proofed so they are safe

You can keep them all in the same cage provided it has plenty of room and they aren't confined too much. A ferrets cage size at minimum should be at least 3 foot width X 2 foot depth X 2 foot height. A large, well designed cage for ferrets is a necessity especially if you plan on keeping more ferrets in the same cage.

If she does have babies, take the male out so she WON'T eat them. She may get stressed. Also, don't get the baby hamsters out of the cage. They will probably die, and if you put them back in the cage, the mother hamster may eat them. Just watch the baby hamsters and the mother hamster. Hope this helped. DON'T TAKE THE BABIES OUT OF THE CAGE!!!!! With out the mom the babies will die. And if you put the babies back before they die she will eat them. Besure to take the male out yhe cage. If she feels like here babies are indangered she will eat them.good luck.
