Glad you are back. You did the right thing. As far as Lucifer missing the babies, the only thing I can tell you is about when my Willow gave birth. Once we knew she was finished we put her in a separate enclosure for a little to rest. The enclosure was right next to the babies and she never took her eyes off of them. She watched them constantly. The only time she didn't was when she ate or took a drink of water. This went on for about 3 weeks. I think they know who their babies are. I know they are self sufficient from birth, but think they have some nurture in them. Just my opinion though.
