    In my opinion ... it is best to go to a PetSmart or local vet and purchase some KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer) as soon as you can. I have also found that the nursing kit baby bottles are the pits. What works best is a tiny syringe (without needle of course). You can probably get one from a pharmacy or your vets office. I would get several because the stoppers wear out really quickly and you'll need a bunch!

    The most important thing is getting fluids in them asap! (Even slightly warm tap water if nothing else-- until you can get some KMR) Also, you need to "potty" them everytime they eat. You can take a warm washcloth and gently rub their tiny bottoms until you see them both pee and poop! Yes, it will be yucky .. but it HAS to be done!!! Best thing ... if there is any signs that they aren't eating.. or pottying or they don't have energy ... get them to the vet asap! Also, if they are having really runny, smelly diarrhea...this is life threatening... go to a vet ASAP!

    Good luck! If you have any questions you can PM me! Sorry I am just now seeing and responding to this post!
