Is there anything I should not be giving Muffin incase the babies nibble at it? Her veg for the last week since babies have been born has been; bell peppers, broccoli, cucumber, fresh corriander, sweetcorn, carrot, boc choi and cuyl kale?

Becareful with the cucumber, in a few days/weeks (depending on thier age) the bubs will love it, but too much gives them diarrhoea. Maybe take mumma out for a quick cuddle when you feed it to her?

The amount of veg the babies eat should be restricted in the first week as it can cause the runs as Bean mentioned. If mum can get up on a platform to eat them away from the babies it will help. I'd stay away from the cabbage based veg for a while as this can cause bloat, and no fruit at all.
Once they are starting to eat a good amount of dry food you can slowly introduce veg - I start with grass, freshly picked and washed. Just one type of veg per day to make sure they can cope with it, until they have a nice varied selection.
