I used to feed mine on ambrosia creamed rice to take some pressure of the jill if I had a big litter you might want to try that ate it fair fattens them up so dont give them too much

I'd try the rabbit as with three weeks i put a bit of rabbit in the nest box and although they dont eat it they can suck the juices off it .

should be starting on solids anyway around about 4 weeks

Shocking mate.....Bad news that....I would suggest the two you have left were slightly away from the rest and the scum never relised they were there else bet your bottom dollar you would have lost them to mate.

I've reared orfan kitts of around that age before on cheap mince and very fine strips of chopped up rabbit and they came through a treat.

 

Good luck mate

At 4 weeks, I'd feed them 4 times a day with mince and finely chopped meat/organs, plus giving them a good drink of goat's milk or other lactose free milk when they'd eaten all the solid food they wanted. They'd still be nursing at this age, so do need the milk for complete nutrition.

We just had a mother die at two weeks we use lactose kitten milk you can find it here they are now nearly four weeks and thriving... look at the site ferret rescue southwest below to see our diary so far. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LACTOL-GOLD-KITTEN-Formula-500g-Milk-Substitute-/300431948800?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Cats&hash=item45f323bc00 keeping them warm is the harder bit luckily my keeper friend has loads of brood lamps which i have pinched.

 

Good luck
