Answer
Hello Teegan and thank you for your post.
You can get a hand feeding formula from your local pet shop.  Be sure to follow the instructions on the label.
Here is a link to a site that will explain how to feed the baby.

Be sure to read through the hand feeding part of the article.

Good luck and God Bless.
