What do you do if the baby robins do not open their mouths to eat the baby rice cereal?

I'm nursing a baby robin myself right now that I found blown out of a tree after a really bad storm. At first the robin didn't want to open when offered food, but I tried to feed it in a quiet, empty room and when I approached I blew a little air over the chick to simulate the mother returning to the nest. Took a few tries but he eventually started opening and chirping for the food. Now I don't have to do it at all, if he spots me anywhere close he raises up and chirps to be fed. They are actually pretty good at recognizing faces and quickly associate yours with food. Hope this helps.

How do you take care of a baby robin egg?
How to care for baby robins, or any other wild baby bird: Get yourself a medicine syringe (most drug stores have them) and get some baby rice cereal. Mix up the rice cereal with warm water and suck up into medicine syringe, and when the chicks are hungry you just put the end of the medicine syringe into their mouth and feed. Don't be afraid to put it down their throat a little, the mother does this with her beak. If you can, go to Petco or a petstore and buy some bird hand feeding food. I know petco carries this for about $5.99. It is better for them then the rice cereal, but the rice cereal will be ok if you cant find hand feeding food for birds. You should also know that baby robins poop ALOT! So you should be prepared to clean up their area frequently. If you cannot care for the chicks, then call your local vet office and ask if they have a number for someone who cares for wildlife, and baby animals that have been found. They can usually point you in the right direction. If you decide to keep the chick, or chicks then you must know that you cannot let them go once they grow up because they won't know how to fend for themselves, and they will die if you release them. So decide carefully. Also, the mortality rate is quite high in baby birds, so don't be surprised if only one chick lives. Good Luck! PS: the chicks eat about every hour to hour and a half! but they do sleep all night, so get your rest, you'll be up early feeding them!
