Ok so we are in the beginning of week three in Azriel's life and I appreciate how much you have all helped. I think i have enough powder kmr for one more day. How many more days do you think i should bottle feed him? He was born on the tenth of april...And also what day should i begin to introduce the liter box?? Thank you for all who havent been rude and have been helpful this is my first forum ever.

I would start introducing the litter box now, such as when you help him potty, I have a box for spike, a low-sided container, with non-clumping litter in it in his nest, and I put him in it after he eats, when I wipe his bottom. So far, he like to go #1 on me,
but he'll get the hang of it. It takes patience.

I am slowly introducing solids to Spike, but right now he thinks the saucer is a huge climbing toy
, and likes it better if it's on my pinkie. When he's gets the hang of the food, I'll mix his formula with his food, and then slowly wean him from the formula. Mine and my vet's goal is plain food by 8 weeks. Just remember that their systems are pretty sensitive, so don't make any sudden changes in diet.

you can try baby food with no onion or mush kitten food with warm KMR. You can introduce the litter box but am not sure he will get it right away. Patients is the key and we are here to help.

No doubt about the patience...lol Spike, who never really plays...climbed in the litter box...let me rephrase that....he belly flopped into the box, and started tossing it around, rolling around in it and hissing at it. And then-he hissed at me when I picked him up out of it!!

Reminds me of potty training my daughter....

LOL Is it not fun?

My guys' favorite game was "cover my brothers and sisters with litter, whether they're inside or outside the box, as fast as I can."
