1. Dry baby rice cereal
2. Dry baby barley cereal
3. Powdered milk
4. Dry oatmeal
5. Wheat germ
6. A teaspoon or two of Miner-all vitamin/mineral supplement

Give them a piece of veggie (romaine lettuce (not iceburg), carrot, potato, etc) every other day for moisture.

Oatmeal alone as a gutload can cause deficiencies, if I recall. You will want to use some other type of grain, or a mix of them.
