u can't, unless u are able to provide the kind of warmth that a body of a parent can provide (not hot water bottle bags that would burn them) and unless they are at least 4 days old? in which case u could every 30 MINS FOR THE NEXT 1 WEEK feed them baby formula by eye dropper? but that would be a FULL time job, cuz u have more than one pup, so basically its a 2-3 person job non stop, they don't really stand a chance, so best case scenario would be to raise only maybe 2-3 on your own and just let the other ones die, cuz survival rate for a 8-pup litter if they are newborns without mum is about 1/8... so u could save a few but likely not all of them
