If they are 10 days or older, they are probably OK out of the nest box, and mom will sometimes put them back in. If not, you need a taller rim ( mine is usually 4-6 in) on the opening to the box. In other words, it should be deeper. I hope that makes sense. Also, add hay or a mat outside the box to prevent exposure if he jumps out again. This depends on how old they are.

Sometimes they will wander but usually end up back together on their own. It is 100% OK for you to handle the kits. You can put it back in the nest if you are worried.
