great, thanks! yeah they are all gaining at least that much, often more. they're usually between 9-15 grams daily. so i really felt like they were doing fine, but wanted to make sure since their overall weight hadn't doubled yet. :) thank you for reassuring me!
right. and to be clear, she's not asking for more food or acting hungry and she's drinking plenty of water. just wanting to make sure i'm giving her enough. :) And i have the dry food out so there's always food for her whenever she wants it, especially overnight, in addition to the regular wet...
Haha, yes, makes sense to me! I'll up her wet food to 3 cans a day and see how that goes. She eats all of the wet every time, and eats a good amount of dry but I've never found the dry bowl empty so I know she's not going hungry. But of course she prefers the wet ;)
Also how much food should mama be getting? I keep her bowl of dry kitten food full and she eats whenever she wants from there, and I've been giving her two small cans of wet kitten food daily as well. All the food is blue buffalo limited ingredient so high calorie and few fillers.
QUESTION ABOUT WEIGHT GAIN! :)
they are all gaining well within heathy range every day, (between 8-15g a day) but I read that by 1 week they should be double their birth weight? I think they were born fairly large so maybe that's why, but we aren't even close to doubling. Here are their...
Weigh ins are going well! Their weight gains slowed down on day 3 but today (day 4) they're back to gaining well within normal range so I think all is well:
Grey: 125g
White collar: 132g
Brown collar: 114g
Tubbs: 146g
Little black one: 123g
I guess now that we have a consensus educated guess...
OMG adorable! Hooray kittens!
Ok here are some photos, they're pretty squirmy so they're not the best but I tried! Haha
