I agree. The risk of them getting infected bites now outweighs the risk of the Mother eating them. Get a bin for a bin cage and put new bedding in. Get a new bag of bedding in case the ants came from the bedding. Just put a cardboard box in for a house with a hole cut for a door (shoebox is ideal) and a clean food dish and lots of strips of torn up toilet paper. Rub your hands in the old bedding before moving the babies one at a time. I am not sure if you should move the babies first or the Mother first but around the same time.
