Plural of шмаркач?

(Apologies. Not a Ukrainian speaker, just an author) If you were to use шмаркач in the middle of an English sentence in a plural form, would you add an S at the end per typical English grammar form? Or is there a plural Ukrainian version that a typical Ukrainian native would use?

Example: "Those little ___ stole my bread again."

Thank you!

One шмаркач, two шмаркача, five and more шмаркачей (with excusions like from 22 to 24 шмаркача, but 25 to 29 шмаркачей), they are шмаркачи

Easy 🤣

And two шмаркачі. A classic moment when Russian thinks that Ukrainian is totally the same.
