Thank you for offering some suggestions to us!

I'm not sure what KRM is. Is that a milk supplement?
So far, we've been offering prescription diet kitten food with a tablespoon or so of warm water mixed in. I've even tried some of the adult cat food, to see if it might have a more intriguing smell, but they just don't seem interested at all, except for Tiny.

We originally were going to put the babies up in my sons bedroom, which is a quiet, low traffic area, but, we need to put them in a room where the dog has no access to them. If we put them in his room, Gabby would have to be shut in there with them all the time, which I don't think she would like at all. She is very attached to my husband, and seeks him out to spend non-kitten time with him, once her babies have gone to sleep.

In the laundry room where they are right now, we installed a cat door, but we can't resonably do that for every room (although, I have seriously considered it!), because we live in a rental property.
I thought the kitchen would be good, because we can block off the doorway, but Gabby can still come and go as she pleases, by going through the "pass through" window into the dining room.

If we keep the babies in the basement, and I reorganize to make it safer and more kitten friendly, do you think it will have a negative effect on their socialization? I was thinking they'd need to be near us a little more, in order to make them more human and other animal friendly.

Thanks again for your help!
