Fantastic!!!! Thank you for you help x
I just did at search the conversion of 1 oz is 28.3495231 grams. Normally converting to grams is not needed you can keep track either way. Use one scale figure and stick with that then you don't get confused.
If the room where the kittens are is closable from the rest of the room so you can run a small heater and the heating pads in the wardrobe and then turning down the heater for the rest of the house. Is that an option. Is the make up of the house normally cool or is it normally to hot? Matlock Bath was normally cold in the rooms and warm in the kitchen. If that is the case you might need to have a room heater. I think you would want the room temp in the 70's am I right StefanZ? sarthur2? I like warm as I am normally cold all the time but I had to adjust for my husband.

If the mom is there with them, warming them up, its usually not really necessary to heat up the room, unless its really cold.
Its mostly if they are orphans without mom, or mom mostly neglecting them, when its extra touchy with a warm room, in addition to a heating pad.
@metcalfe1987
6 grams is 0.21164377 oz is the conversion.
Correct StefanZ so the information I read was the nest is in a wardrobe and that will keep the heat from their bodies just have to watch drafts when you enter and exit the room How is Molly getting out to roam? What room temp would your figure Stefan as you are the closest in geographic location.

My hose is set at 22 degree c. Mollys loving the heat mat .There in a small walk in wardrobe . Molly comes out as she pleases . And I rotate molly walking round the house to my other cats or close Door of my room and stay close incase she wants to come in if she wants to see her friends . Just a quick question . One of the kittens doesn't push up to molly with feet down . He's using his knees with rest of leg lifting and pushing back and up . No real pushinv up strength in lover part of back legs . Paws seem curled . Other 2 kittens are not like this they push up on the paws with feet normal to get mummy's milk

His back legs are looking like this . I will get a pic of him tomorrow as there all sleeping I don't want to disturb them . Any idea what wrong with him or is he just delayed in growing ?
The temp should be OK as the temp i quoted was F and the conversion would put the temp at 71. As long as there is not a cold draft in the nesting area the heat pad and Molly should be ok. The Kitten probably is just slow on using his hind paws. I would watch and see how he gets once the eyes open. Just like a human kid they all start walking different times.
There looks to be something wrong with its hind legs. It's hard to tell for sure in the picture, but they do not look formed quite right. Don't know if it will improve or not. You may wish to see a vet with this kitten. I've not seen such before. But it seems to be thriving otherwise!
I have had several kittens that held their hind legs like that and had no problems later but it cannot hurt to have it checked out. I had a vet tell the mommy that 2 kittens would be blind and it turned out they were just slow on opening their eyes. The only issue I have had with those kittens now cats was they were fed to fast with a bottle as the mommy cat ran out of milk and now they have breathing problems as they aspirated the milk into their lungs. We have to remember these kittens are only 2 days old.
This is true. It may just need time to grow some!
I agree with the others comments, but that said, it doesnt hurt if you do some little gymnastics and massage now and then. Very cautious and mildly of course.
Compare with the Twisted legs syndrome, where the feet looks horrible, but usually correct themselves before the kitten gets adult. Sometimes they corrects even without active corrective gymnastics by the owners.
So, if Molly isnt disturbed by your activiites - you are photographing them after all, and its OK - do some massage on these feets, cant hurt, may help.
Temp of 22C is nice and good as basic temp for the kittens. Having mom and or a heat pad as the necessary extra makes the arrangement excellent!
