Poor little babies that didn't make it...RIP.

Congrats on the others. The sooner you handle the babies the better. Maybe not picking them up right away, but touching them as long as the momma doesn't seriously freak I think would be ok.

Don't wait too long to interact with them...the older they are, they'll learn distrust of humans from the momma. But I'm sure it will all work out fine.

Ohhhhh...they must be so cute and tiny!
