Yes, you can get them to poop and had better soon or they'll be miserable pups. Take the cotton ball soaked with warm water or mineral oil and rub across the anus. I hold them in my hand (on my palm)and they stick their butts in the air and "bare down". Moms are not the most gentle so I'm not and it works, though don't do not rub them raw of course. Hopefully they're not already constipated.
The human preemies bottles that you have them on are suppose to be good, I must not have found the right ones yet, they still look big to me.
I'm glad Mom is doing better, I've never had one with eclampsia before. But I understand you're very lucky.
Best Wishes,
