Go to the petstore and buy some meal worms and gerbil milk. Then feed them the milk through a really small eyedropper and give them drops until they wont take it. (hold them lightly between 2 fingers while you do this) as for the meal worms, I don't know but I think you just leave it next to them. Make sure you do this constantly, and that they are always completely covered in clean warm bedding, kind of like a cave. Ehen you know you can't feed them yourself like when you're at school or something, soak a small piece of bread in the milk then set it next to them before you leave. I hope I helped.
