Hi Pink,, this is a tough job and you deserve kudos that you have even kept them going this long ! Now did the vet tell you about getting them to go poo and pee? this is very important and they will die if they don't go. they need to be stimulated after eating by using a wet warm paper towel and gently massaging their genital areas. They should be having soft yellowish bowel movements and they should be passing quite a bit of urine each time you feed them. Do you have them on a heating pad? they should be on a heating pad set to warm with an area that is covered well so that they can move away from the heat if they need to. Also they may not be getting enough to eat. How much are they taking at each feeding?
Can you put an ad in the local papers to see if anyone has a mom cat that is nursing kittens that you could put these ones on. It would be so much easier but in the meantime keep up the good work ! Teresa
