Answer
Hi Brianna,

    At 2 weeks of age is when you can handle the babies for a short period of time and the cage may also be cleaned.
    At 3 weeks of age the babies need to be separated from each other and their Mom (boys in one cage and girls in another).
    If you have anymore questions, please write again.

Thank you for writing!
