Be patient. The whole process takes at least a couple of weeks, usually longer.

So you leave the wet food/water mixture in with them in one food bowl so they can free feed?? Also, we can do the same with the dry food mix as well???

I have been hand feeding them but was wondering how to get them to eat out of a bowl, which would be a lot easier.

I fed them some dry kibble mixed with water and goats milk all mushed up last night. It didn't look or smell very appetizing, but they ate it up pretty well.
