How old were they? If they were under 3 weeks of age, I doubt she took them as they don't come out before that age. If they were 5-8 weeks old, then that's the right age for them to be running around with mom. If they were just 3-4 weeks old, they might have wandered out by themselves to follow her, but usually don't wander far from the nest as it's too soon. If you can, check in the mornings to see if the young kits' tummies are full and they are warm. That would mean she was in there at night feeding them still.
