They can't make their own body heat and keeping them warm is #1 or they can die or even go into hibernation which would be fatal. If they have already try to warm them up out of it with your hands. Get some Pedialyte from the grocery store in the baby section. It's a rehydrating solution you will need to feed them for the first day. Use an eye dropper, very carefully as they can ingest liquid into their lungs. They will need this every two hours day and night. On the second day start mixing some puppy Esbiliac or Just Born formula with the Pedialyte. Again, every two hours day and night. Third day you should be ok giving them just the formula from here on in. How often you feed now will depend on their age. E-mail me and let me know how everything is and we can determine their age and a feeding scheduale for them.
