Well, their mother (if they have one) will probably not be too comfortable with you touching her babies. I would perhaps stroke them when they are newborn - a couple weeks, and then maybe hold them VERY carefully for short periods of time after that. The nwhen they start to play, you can interact with them, giving Mum a break. If they are orphans, handle them to feed them and cuddle them and give them plenty of love.
