I think the two males will be fine but the female is only moving a little bit, but she did take the formula from the eyedropper.
Those puppies should be given atleast 2 cc's of formula every 2 to 3 hours till moms milk comes. Your vet can give mom a shot of oxytosin which will help milk production to start. Do you know how much they weigh? Good luck with them.
