Thank you for replying. I ended up separating mum and this one kitten and she fed him for a good hour. HE is the same weight (roughly) as the others so he isnt losing, i just think he isnt ready to take the food. Good news is she didn't move him last night 128512

Hi again... Diamond is moving one specific kitten to under my bed. she seems to be rejecting it. this kitten is the only one thats not weaned or using the kitty litter. what could be wrong?

Hi guys. Sorry its been awhile since ive posted. Ive been quite unwell. So kittens are 4 weeks old tomorrow and doing so fantastic. Playing heaps and growing well. My question is to when to start weaning? Is weetbix and kmr ok? Also when do i start litter training them? Thanks guys. Ill post...

Night time weigh ins... #1 126 (7g up) #2 97 (6g up) #3 106 (11g up) #4 131 (14g up... Little piggy lol) #5 105 (9g up) It's only been 12 hours since I last weighed and I've only supplemented #2 once cos I've been out all day. I'm going to top him up again after he feeds from mum. I'm...

Awesome thank you

At 2am, diamond moved 2 of the kittens to under the spare bed. So I moved the box into that room and I put them back in there. That room is joined to the bathroom where the kitty litter is so I locked her in that area with them. She kept the kittens in the box all night. But boy, she didn't like...

Morning. I'm feeling a heap more positive today!! #1 119g (up 15g) #2 91g (up 8g) #3 95g (up 14g) #4 117g (up 11g) #5 96g (up 10g) Obviously, #2 still needs tlc, but do I still supplement the others?

They are nursing at the moment so I won't disturb them yet. Since I've supplemented them, diamond has relaxed a little bit and is leaving them now for a little longer than just to eat and drink. It's obvious that it's working! I'm using a bottle and teat cos the syringe just wasn't working with...

Fantastic. Thanks heaps hun xx

So I'm aiming for 6g increase each day? When I tried to feed them last time, they just kept meowing and wouldn't drink much. Their tummies looked quite plump so I'm thinking they may have gotten some milk from mum?

Yes hun they are but when I try to express, nothing is coming out of her. That's why I've decided to go against the vet. What harm could it do to supplement?!? Can have too fat if kittens, surely lol

I was able to get 2ml into #2 and 1ml onto the others. Is that OK? I'm about to feed them again. Can I keep the left over milk for the next feed and heat it up in warm water or jusy start again?

Just got back from the vet now. They actually said its expected to lose weight the first day. I'm still going to supplement #2. It doesn't feel right not to. I got a bottle with a test as well. Which should I use? And why?

It's a 10ml syringe. I'm taking them in tonight hopefully. Then again in 2 days
