Yes, you can do so. they need good nourishment. Dont let the mama out, and I think you can even consider to spay her now as soon her heat is over.  After all, she is not caring much for the kittens any longer, and they had began to eat themselves.  When spaying done, she may even return to them, and at least wash them.

Good luck!
