Hello again! I\'ve ran across another problem. I believe my Momma is mad at her babies. I cleaned out her pen along with the nest and just stuck the babies in with her. (The babies are jumping out of the nest anyway) The momma grunted and pounced on any baby that came near her. I didn\'t want the babies to get hurt so I put the nest back in with them in it. Will she reject them, or is that her way of saying stay away. The kits are about 3 weeks old. What should I do if the babies get out of the nest and make her mad. Do I need to seperate them? Is it too early? I just don\'t want the kits to get hurt or killed by the momma.

I think that maybe she didn\'t like being disturbed. I would leave the box in for another week.
I would not separate them UNLESS she is defintately trying to harm them.
She must have just been upset that you took them all out of their comfy cozy home.
