We put them all in a deep plastic play box and then we start by putting our hand in the box and stroking and lifting the babies up then laying them back in the box. Next we will start lifting and letting them run hand to hand, always over the box. Let them feel your hand around them. Soo when you put your hand in the box they will run up your arm

They are like little frogs when they are young - so fast too. Glad that things are turning out well and that you have some homes lined up. Well done on getting to this point.

Thanks guys

At what age I can give them away? They all eat now and doesn't seem to rely on their mother.

Well technically they can be given away after they are weaned at about 4 weeks of age. But its best to wait till about 5-6 weeks of age. Maybe someone else whos an expert can explain more. And clarify this
Gorgeous babies, You must be very proud!
