Lol, easier to count how many times I get bit by each baby!!! I KNEW you were in for a surprise once they got their wits about them. Baby BRB's are VERY nippy lil critters. Within a month or two most of the nipping will be gone. That's the level most have experience with and even that can be a bit nippy for some.
Only going by what you said, I'd be concerned with the little one. Better that it lost the sack. Best you can do is keep it warm and damp and hope for the best.
Very decent birth weights. Probably more toward the heavy end. in my experience in the low 30's is pretty typical. My first litter (the aneries) were also on the heavy side. Probably a similar average weight.
For babies I use the hand cover/cup method. Use your palm as the cup and gently press down on the baby making a snug warm hide. You can feel when they settle down and YES, you will get bit!!!   Did I mention baby BRB's are nippy?
Once they stop wiggling, you can take your hand off and BE QUICK taking the pics.
I'm definitely not showing your "mansions" to my babies, they might go on a hunger strike for larger condo's!!
