Fur starts showing on back at day 5 (dark hair) and belly and paw fur (if white) shows up around 8-10 days. The babies start relieving themselves on their own day 8, eyes open day 10, and they are following the mother from open eyes to find out what to eat. Day 14 you can touch the babies (handle the mother too) and clean the cage! (I usually wait a few days longer but you can safely clean and handle them at 14 days)
The cage will stink because there are so many little animals living in there. Do not clean the cage until the babies open their eyes. Keep the mother and babies together when you clean the cage so they will not act like strangers. When you decide to clean the cage either have another cage ready to put them in or use a large bucket. Something you can do before you clean the whole cage is you can clean out the urination corner daily or when it gets especially wet. You can then put clean shavings in to replace those.
The mother builds a nest to keep the babies warm and safe, and she can and does leave them for short times. This is perfectly normal! She leaves to eat, relive herself away from the nest, to get a drink, to stretch her legs. She shouldn't be handled as this and the smell from the human hands that rubs off on her might stress her to the point where she destroys her litter.
The babies can be taken away from their mom at 18 to 21 days or later. Some breeders prefer to wait until the babies are 4 weeks old before they remove them from thier mother. Usually if this is done the males are taken away a little earlier (like 3 weeks old). If you don't take them away from their mom she may kill them if the males try to breed her, and keep on going with the rest of them. But normally you will not have to worry about this as males are not mature until they are 5 weeks old. Females are able to be bred at 21 days but you should never purposly breed her until she is 4 months old. "
