Poor babies! Since they are so tiny, I would strongly urge to take them to the vet to be checked out. They could have a bacterial infection or viral infection causing such issues. Your vet will be able to determine if they need any medications to prevent it from get worse and to help them heal. If left untreated, it could potentially be fatal. Also, make sure they are nursing well and getting plenty of nutrition. I hope it helps!
