This website gives pretty good information about feeding baby orphans. Not to discourage you, but they do tend to have a high mortality rate even when feeding them the best kind of milk. Sometimes what is best is to calm the mother down, and hold her on her back protecting the babies from her claws and hold them to her to nurse, even doing this once a day and bottle feeding them the rest will help out greatly.
