I would also give them some electrolytes too, to make sure they stay hydrated. They sell a mix at Tractor Supply, but in a pinch we've given ours some gatorade.
We bought a 5 week old buckling recently who rode 10 hours. He is a bottle baby but didn't eat much at all for a couple of days and did scour. But, he would drink the electrolytes out of a bowl. We also gave him probiotics from Tractor Supply. Scours cleared up and now he is eating like a champ.
It does stress them being taken from their moms, but I'm sure they will be fine.
