I have 2 orphan babies (wild caught). A cat killed their mother. I am feeding them by dropper with Di-vetalact formula. I am wondering how old they would be. They are hairless, eyes are still closed.However they are very active in the pouch and are drinking well. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Agree with the above, but make sure they can't possibly get into the water, or they would drown. Best of luck to you. I'm sure others here who have hand-raised can give you more info.
