im in a similar situation. yesterday my partner was leveling a mound in the garden when he accidently pulled apart a mouse nest the mother ran off and panacking we scooped the babies into a bowl and called rspca.there wasnt anything the could do. we were told to leave them back outside but it was cold, cats around and after some time we decided they had a better chance with us. all i have is info from the web and so far they are all doing well. i have a small syring i got from the chemist ans have stuck a small piece of rubber band in the end to work as a teat. this sort of device is essential as you must be very carefull not to get milk in their noses as this can cause infedtion. i slightly warm some kitten milk and feed them every 2 hours. after every feeding it is importaint that u rub theyre belly's and gentital area in a soft downward motion (like mothers tounge' as this makes them go to the toilet. be persistant, is obvious when it works. we have a platic bottle full off hot water in their tank which they cuddle up to.
