At the moment I have 6 kittens ranging from 5 weeks to 5 months. I feed the older ones wet food 2 to three times a day and I free feed the kibble its out 24/7. The younger kittens get wet food about four times a day. None of mine are fat. But they still beg for food and will get on tables and...
You are supposed to fed them 8 cc or ml per ounce. So a 12 ounce kitten should receive 96 cc in a 24 hour period. My kittens are 5 weeks old and are eating primarily wet food with milk once a day. They prefer the food though. Each kitten is different when it is weened.
I don't really have any answers but I also feel the same way when looking for food. I go and feel like I am so lost. I get frustrated and get my brood what they always eat. I want to feed them better I just am so lost.
Yes another kitten will help once the introductions are complete. I got lucky and it my two warmed up together the same day. I honestly believe the younger they are the easier it is.
Have you considered trimming his claws. I do this to all of mine, I have 6 atm, and it makes life so much...
Thank you both so much. I had a big scare tonight. I got to where I couldn't find Chewy. I looked for over an hour. Where he is so small and dark it was hard to see him. I got to where I was moving my furniture so I could find him. Finally he was balled up all fuzzy under my couch. He is just so...
LOL I had a really bad one when I first started dating when I was around 16. My sister and her friend wanted to go to a local fair. So they decided to fix me and her friends brother up so he would take them. OMG the moment he walked in the house I knew it wouldn't go any where. He looked close...
Isn't it weird how excited you get when you see them poop or pee on their own. My two I have now are so funny they meow like crazy when they have to go and they do it all the way to the litter box, while they are doing their business and when they jump out. I hope they start calming down as they...
Thank you for your reply. I think they are five weeks old. I have found a home for Chance on Friday and they will be taking care of all of that for him. I will be keeping Chewy. I have to find a vet that will work with me on payments because I have so many. Unexpectedly I had someone show up...
About two weeks ago I got 3 very cute kittens whose mom quit letting them nurse. I bottle fed them every three or four hours and they gained well. They were so cute. My biggest Chance was 13 ounces, Champ was 11 and Chewy was 10. I did everything I was supposed to do keeping them separated...
My recent bottle babies took a minutes to get used to the bottle. I got them at the 3 to 4 week age range. They were chewing the bottle and it was cute but no milk. What I done was I made the hole a little smaller and I gave the bottle a gentle squeeze. They started sucking that way. That is the...
I seen on YouTube that someone used a child's plastic pool. It was deep enough to keep the kittens in but low enough for mom to easily get out. When it was time for litter training they cut a hole in the side and connected a box with litter. It was really cute and they learned what to do. easily
Are you using liquid or powdered kmr? Liquid can cause constipation I learned that the hard way. I would take the baby to the vet and let them do it. I think a little pumpkin could help.
I have tried giving him a bottle and he doesn't want it. Maybe the nipples are to small. He has been nursing on a shag rug I have. He was 8 weeks old when I Got him. And a good size at 2 pounds.
I have a ten week old flame point siamese boy. He is adorable and vocal which I love. I also have another little boy he tries to nurse on. He also tries to nurse on one of my females.
I have tried to give him a blanket a toy I have even tried A nipple from a bottle for kittens. Nothing works...
If the kitten is five weeks old if you want to tame it you can take it now. From all I have read you can take feral kittens beginning at 4 weeks for best chance tame.
