My conscience is clear.
you need to get a kitten milk replacement, it will have the nutrients they need, most pet stores will carry it. get a bag such as a crown royal bag and wear them around your neck. on your breaks at work you feed them, keep them tucked in your shirt between breaks. if you dont think you can do that they will get by for several hours without feeding and it wont hurt them but you'll need to feed a few times before ed and a few times when you get up, possible even getting up once or twice in the night. if you can get help with feeding then do so
regular milk isnt good for them, get the kitten formula

sometimes I get birds that bang into my windows, maybe dehydrated. I have a clean paint brush and I make up a solution of honey in water with a pinch of salt. It's not quite rehydration solution but where I like there's a big old lake and rivers a mile away. It's been nice holding a bird in my hand, drip feeding it from the brush and when its ready, just flies away.

Too much to scroll through and read but youre great for saving them. Id suggest only to keep them warm and go and find some kitten formula to feed them with a dropper until their eyes are open and are squirming around. Then they can start weaning to solids. I've not had the privilege of saving a wild baby since i was a little girl.
If you want them to be able to make it in the wild and not keep as pets, id give them as little attention as possible, only feedings. Or find a professional to care for them.
But yeah, kitten or puppy formula is probably the way to go here. Maybe theres even a nursing squirrel mama somewhere that will adopt them.

very cool. 
I'm reminded of a time I accidentally saved a bird. I witnessed my awesome cat leaping into the air and catching a bird midair. (no joke. I didn't see how fast the bird was flying or anything, but still.) I was shocked and yelled praise at my cat in excitement, which startled him so badly that he let the bird go and ran away 
I felt so bad for ruining what may have been the coolest moment of his life. I just realized this is probably a lifelong grudge and explains why he favors my brother 
The bird flew away seemingly unscathed but I'm sure he was wounded at least somewhat.

Haven't read the majority of the thread, but I'm glad you are taking care of them! Keep us updated! Also(don't know if you did) but take some pictures of them and post it!

The little critters are doing good this morning. I hydrated them yesterday (they still are dehydrated though). As of today I'll be feeding them every 2-3 hours. They are sleeping liike babies under a few layers to keep them warm.
It's a very interesting experience. I've never really had a pet that was solely taken care of by me and 100% dependent on my presence. I'm not allowed to die anymore... I bet that feeling is multiplied by a million when you actually have a baby.
They still look the same as the pic in the OP, so I won't post new ones (plus I'm having trouble. I posted a pic earlier, it says its broken and yet there a +2 next to it, can you guys see that pic? Is it only a problem on my side?)

Oh btw patlal, if you didn't know this. Once those squirels are older, they are going to be EXTREMELY tame and close to you. You might as well be their mother.
I used to have a sugar glider that I hand tamed(I have it's baby now, didn't hand tame this one) and it was the sweetest thing to me. Take good care of them!

isn't it possible that the babies have rabies or something.
also do you happen to live close to that guy who killed a squirrel a few days ago, i bet he killed their mother and now you have to take care of the kids and you live next door to each other and don't even know it

Yay! Seriously, since they already have their full coats it seems they will have a good chance at surviving, even more so after their little eyes open. <3

I would think putting them back would be a terrible idea, mainly because your scent would be all over them..yuk.
You're pretty lucky tho, looks fun and happy. You'll either have cool ass fun personal little pets or..like someone else said they'll burrow into your walls and start an electrical fire lol.
