It's usually when the babies start to open their eyes which can happen from as early as 10 days after the birth but generally breeders will work on a timescale of about 2 weeks to be on the safe side. Some mothers may still be anxious at this stage about intervention so I would see how she reacts to your presence before attempting to disturb the nest.
