This is a great sign! I remember my first joeys momma was soo protective she wouldn't even let be babysit until the joeys' eyes were open, so that is pretty much about a week of being able to look and not touch. lol
Just be sure she's getting enough protein and calcium to supplement the joeys, I personally like to feed silkworms and calcium gut-loaded crickets for calcium, and mealizies for protein of course! But even running out to the local butcher's to pick up chicken hearts and gizzards is a healthy snack in moderation, I recommend that they be cooked prior via boiling them as it kills off any bacteria and parasites that might be hiding on/in them.
