Hi

this is how i did it, but mine where two weeks old when mum died. I feed all three on milk suppliment (baby) with sprinkling of arrowroot powder. mix the arrowrrot and milk powder together then put warm (warm that has cooled to warm from boiled)in and mix well, using a tea spoon, place a peice of wholemeal bread and soak it well in milk, let the babies suck on the bread, watch that they don't try to eat the bread just yet. if it is younger than that, like a few days old, using an eye dropper drip a drop of milk into its mouths, watch you don't get to much down at once or it will choke or up its nose either, i feed mine every two hours during the day and four hours in the night, hard work! at four weeks old they were weaning onto solids a bit, but taking more milk via large spoon and bread soaked in milk, make sure it is warm, and dry, if it wees, dry it up well. hope this is of some help to you and good luck

I wish you all the best, its a hard job being mum to tiny babies, does the mother had any other babies? you could try to put it back of course, but you need to rub your hands in the dirt corner (yes yuck!) but then oyu won't smell human, pick up baby and rub it in the nest, not on the other babies of course, you will need ot have removed her out for a run around the floor, give her something to eat, treat wise. but you could risk the other babies too. My does are not to bothered by me having a quick look, but some does are very upset and might even nip and scrabble you with their front paws! just make sure it is kept warm (not too hot or it might dihydrate) and feed little and often. Good luck
