Mom and pups are doing fine! Don't worry, I'm not bothering them. Just doing a visual check in (not too close) every few hours. Making sure there's plenty of food and water. No pictures, no touching; I did however get a basic count (eyes only) when Mrs. went to the lower level to get water. I'm just overly excited but trying to be super patient at this point.
The cage is in a quiet part of the house away from the dogs so everything should be fine. Just gonna leave em where they are for a few weeks.
Thanks to all for the kind words and advice
