∙ 12y agoyou cannot touch the babies until 2 weeks after birth. also at 2 weeks you will have to separate the babies from the mother. or the mother will reject them and eat them.
if one of the babies fall out of the cage get clean clothe wrap it around your hand completely and pick the baby up and put it back into the nest.
