Are you sure the mice are abandon? It is possible that the mother was just out looking for food. Try putting them back where you found them for a bit, and wait to see if the mother will come back. Be paitient, for this could take a couple of hours. Stay a distance from the nest and try to keep any neighborhood cats away from it too.
If the mother does not return after 6 hours or so, she is probably gone for good or dead. Bring the mice in and use the nesting material for a bed. Keep them warm at all times. The only thing that you can feed them is kitten or puppy formula through a siringe. I am sorry to say there is a very slim chance that the mice will survive without their mother. Good Luck!
(I found 4 baby field mice in my sandbox the other day, and we left them there and within 2 hours the mom was back)
