Answer
Hi Julia

The mum should take care of them herself.  All you have to do is provide her with a nice cozy nesting box and let her be.  She will only feed them once per day and it is usually when she is alone.  You can tell if the babies are being fed because they will have round little bellies.  You also want to make sure you give the mom free feed of pellets and hay.  She should be allowed to eat as much as she wants while she is nursing.

Here is an article written by Ms. Dana Krempels about having a surprise litter and what to expect.  I hope it helps you.
