Hi Kathy. sorry no one has got back to you. At the moment the best advice is to leave them be, and keep putting out food and water. It may be that the young ones are not ready to leave the nest yet, and may be still suckling.
After a couple of months mother will abandon them to their own devices, then would be a good idea to weigh, but not while they are still with mum.
Just in case you may want to find a local carer in your area and get more qualified advice.

Willpar.
