So we just took in a pair of kitten's yesterday. Male and female, probably about 3 to 4 weeks old. They weigh about 12 ounces. The people who found them were just giving them kmr with a bottle. So they are nice and fat right now. But I am now starting them on a mix of kmr and wet food together and they seem to like it. It took them a few minutes to pick up eat out of a bowl.
But something I keep noticing and breaking up is the female sucking on the males "thing" like its a nipple. When I pull her off he is usually peeing. We've had kittens before, not quite this young, but I haven't seen this or know why she's doing that. Is it because she doesn't have a mom around to suck on and its the closest thing? Its really gross so I keep checking on them, but Im also worried its hurting him
