Should I move them just yet?

I'm building a nice big C&C cage on Tuesday, and I'm hoping to build a 2nd floor. As some of you know, Cookie had her litter of two on Thursday, and I'm wondering if I should move them. They'll love it, because It will consist of 2 or three houses, 2 food dishes, 2 water bottles,a veggie bowl, a hammock, a hay rack, etc. They'll love exploring it, but should I move them at 5 days old?

I have never moved little babies about - but know that they are happy if mum is there and mum is happy if the babies are there.

Is the new home better for Mum? Does it have good hideyholes and so on with enough room to feed her babies inside them? Is it comfier and would it feel safer to a guinea pig? If so, then move them all together into the new place. Just use your judgement and try to think about mummy piggie needs!
