I don't know why I was thinking you were a man all this time, but I see from your hand you are a woman (or a man with long nails). Anyway, thanks for posting the pics and keep up the good work!

They will eat soft wet food when they are 5 or 6 weeks old. They are not ready yet.

When they are ready, you will try giving them wet cat food on a plate. If they eat it, then you no longer feed them by hand. They will also drink their milk from a dish.

But do not stop feeding them by hand until they can eat good on their own. My guess is this will be in 2 more weeks.

You will observe this good eating with your own eyes. They will still need to eat many times a day from a plate when this happens.

HELP!!
suddenly cry goddess sick..
yesterday she did has less appetite than any other day..
today she suddenly collapse like she already don't have any energy

i think the cause of this is, the black one like to milking her genitalia, i tried to separate them.. but the black one always back to her genitalia.. at first i observe them, but cry goddess seems don't really care about the black one milking her so i decided to ignore the black one behavior..
but today i think the cry goddess genitalia don't have redness like she usually has.. there is pale white like spotting around her genitalia
is she got infection? if yes what can i do to treat her sickness (pls don't recommend me to go to a vet, because there is no vet nearby my place)

First, keep the black one from her genitals.

Do you have coconut oil to put on Cry Goddess?

Can you get an antibiotic like penicillin? I think Cry Goddess needs some antibiotic.

Tell me what you can get and I can tell you the dosage.

Put some honey in Cry Goddess' milk. She must have some energy.

yes, i already separate them..
there is no coconut oil here :(
i force fed her every 30mins.. now she can cry and walk well, she just not energetic like usual but her genitalia is red like usual (now i doubt she has infection or not? just in case? should i still buy her penicillin?)
i think the problem is all of them really have less appetite lately that makes them have less energy (the weather for around 4-5days is raining almost all day)

Yes, ampicillin is good. The dose is 5mg per pound.

Cry Goddess is probably only one pound. The ampicillin capsule is 500mg.

So, 5mg will be a very tiny amount two times a day. You can crush it into the milk. Give for 5 days.

You must put some oil on the genitals. Do you have olive oil? Olive oil will work.

The force feeding and honey is very good. They both must eat and have good energy.

They are 4 weeks old now. In one more week they can try wet cat food on a plate. :)

Please tell me how Cry Goddess is doing.

ok, ill do that..
yeah i'm already force feeding them.. but they always shut their mouth after i drop some milk on them (literally, they eject the milk, like spit it back)
i dont know why they dont have any appetite lately.. usually i gave them 4-6mL each serving..
but yesterday and today, if they want to drink 1-2mL each serving i already considering that good
its frustrated me, i have my job and can't always monitoring them

cry goddess now is alive and kick'n, same with the black one..

That's why I worry they may have an infection. Hoping the ampicillin will help. They need to eat more!

Put it in whatever amount of milk you're sure you can get her to drink. She needs to have the full amount of the antibiotic.

Genital suckling is pretty common with orphans :/. Sadly, you have to separate them when that happens. It would be nicer if they can snuggle together but the suckling is dangerous so they'll have to be apart. You can put them together when you're watching them. Be sure to keep them warm enough since they can't sleep together. Once they're on solid foods the suckling should stop but you'll have to keep an eye on that just in case.

It is 5mg in her allotment of milk. Give the 5mg 2x a day. The other milk should not have ampicillin in it. So the daily total is 10mg given as 5mg each at 12 hours apart.

How is Cry Goddess doing with the medicine?

She needs extra food and water. The antibiotic will make her dry.

You can add little drops of olive oil to her milk to soften the poop.
