Question
How long before they should be handled?  They were born just today.

Answer
Hi,

if you can let mom out to exercise, you can take a quick look at them.  Just make sure they are all together and alive.  You can remove any that are dead (hopefully none) as they are a health hazard to the rest.  They should all be snugged together for warmth.

I wouldn't really handle them more than just to look that they all appear okay.  In about 10-14 days their eyes will open and they will start moving around.  At about the two week mark you can start to interact with them more.
