just quick question how much do you sell kittens for as I payed 60 for her and only 20 for my boy want to make sure they all got secure homes to go to due to timing of them leaving is like 3 days before my baby due
I'd charge at least $50- enough that people will have to think for at least a moment about it. I'd offer a full refund in the event that the new owner provides you with proof that their new kitty is spayed/neutered but if course that is up to you.

ohh gosh I woke up this morning to one of them like 2 ft away from then nest they really active I fort newborn kittens don't move much only to get nipple but I noticed today every time ive gone up there shes on one side of the nest with one kitten and the rest are on otherside all snuggled together I mean she does feed them all but this one is the biggest hes 165g and hes constantly on her so she wont get up until he comes off to feed the others and last night one kittens was crying so much it woke me up had to pick the 3 up and put them with her as she was just looking at them I fort she woulda just got to a point where she fort right need to get that kitten with me??
It is highly unlikely they are moving anywhere by themselves. Mom is moving them.

just done my weighing 3 of them are 158-185g but one is only 148g but he was only 145 yesterday at this time should I be concerned this one has always had trouble getting on her nipples right from the start but once he finally on hes ok until the ginger spot one (185g hes massive with big head) comes and pushes him off constantly should I get some kmr and a bottle and just hand rear her as I really don't want her to die shes a lot smaller and not as strong as others all the others weights are shooting up
3 g raise is better than nothing, but its not enough for a normal day. Do you have statistics for the other days too?
One days weak raise may be coincidence, so dont worry too much as yet. Try to set him to a tit when this big bro sleeps.
But if you have sure knowledge of two days running too low, or several a week too low, yes, give him extra manually too. Goat milk or kmr.
And if he seems sickly - consult your vet too.
Good luck!

I generally tend to feel if they are gaining, it is okay. I personally would not be too alarmed but it cannot hurt to suppliment his diet a bit. I would not entirely hand rear her for a large variety of reasons- let her keep nursing from mom if she can (even if it is a bit hard for her to start).
