I dont' want to disturb her to much the first few days how often should I be feeding her.
Follow closely the weigh gain - now every 12 hours, if they dont gain you will KNOW they get too little. IF you notice this, step in and supplement feed them. Dont wait too long.
Ok thank you then they are ok. They are always at a teat when I go in there. They never cry unless she gets out to eat.
They have normal birthing weights? So About 5 grammes a halfday, 10 grammes a day (or more). 10 is about 1/3 if an ounce, 5 grammes thus 1/6 -
How much do they need to gain in 12 hours? I already have the syringes. I got prepared from reading other threads about it. I am also very happy that she was cleaning them earlier. Would chicken broth be ok if she will drink it. No spices of course.
Tx for the convertion into grammes - immediately easier to see, even if you took all the decimales.
I was a little late weighing them and I was a little off with the weights earlier but I have written them down both times and here are there correct weights. I had them converted to grams.
A. 102.05 107.72
B. 119.06 127.57
C. 127.57 133.24
D. 104.89 116.23
I think it was 13 hours. I am sorry for being paranoid I love these little guys so much. Kitten A is my pick. I have been calling him Jett. He is so cute. I will weigh them again at 3:30 to see how they are doing.

Its in 12-14 hours? So the raises are fully satisfactory. even if A and C are a shade thin if its 14 hours. For 12 hours its along the table.
Its important to be vigilant, and double so if not everything is so so... The "thin red line" IS very thin with small kittens.
