That's awesome, I highly recommend not touching them or moving them, this will cause the mom to eat them. She may eat a few anyway either because they are too weak or too small or maybe just sicklings. either way do not touch them.
(sorry I'm a pet care specialist for PetsMart, and know from experience. but please keep in mind I do not know everything . I've been in the department for two years. and have been a lover of small rodents even longer and owner for longer)
Time and space is what they will need. when you clean their cage. I recommend scooping them up from behind with a soft wash cloth. and recommend using Aspen bedding or Carefresh. this way they are not lying on a bunch of smelly oils (as their respatory systems are very small and fragile.) best of luck. if you have any questions I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. But also I'm sure everyone else has great advise on here as everyone is great and has taught me a lot. congrats on the new ones
