You have to kind of train them to eat it (Since normally mom would still be feeding them). I would put some on my pinky and scrape it across her teeth. It took a few times but she got the hang of it. One other thing we did to give her more substance before she was totally weaned was mix the baby food in with the formula but still running enough to use the syringe. She just gave birth to her first litter today, she had a whopping 14 babies. Hopefully she is a good mom since she didn't really have one. So since you said their eyes are open it shouldn't be that long before they are eating on their own.
