Question
I have 10 day old babies could you please tell me when i can start touching them?


Answer
Hi Elizabeth,

technically you can touch them now, just don't overdo it.  It won't bother mom if she smells you on them.  After all you are the alpha bunny, right?

I'd like to point you to relevant articles on baby rabbits that you should read, print out and save for use:
