I'm glad to hear that the bleeding is diminishing and that she's hungry. All good signs

I'm happy to hear that Peppa's bleeding has stopped and her diarrhea is gone. She just needed some recovery time.

Just make sure the kittens are with mom and nursing most of the time right now, as they are very young and fragile .

Kittens are with mum all the time we never pick them up and take them away from were she is, oreo just always crawls over when he knows I'm there, we cuddle them each a few times a day sat by the nest in front of peppa and she is completely fine with it 9 times out of 10 she takes the opportunity to go and get some food and have a sit on the window cill if not she just sits there and watches us or goes to sleep for a minute x
That's sweet [emoji]128149[/emoji].

Kittens are 3 weeks old today! They are growing so quickly! They are all well on there way with there walking they are even trying to so a little wobbly run now [emoji]128514[/emoji] they all love snuggles and as soon as I walk in the room they all run over meowing and trying to climb up my legs [emoji]128525[/emoji] peppa is worrying me a little iv read online that kittens shouldn't start to weene untill 4-5weeks but I keep catching peppa taking the kittens over to the food bowls and litter tray with her when she goes there she will then eat a little and look around to them and let them sniff and dip there heads in to the bowl! I pannicked and removed them and put them back in the den and she cryed at me and walked back to them to lead them back over! She started to do this yesterday AM and it's worrying Me as the kittens are only still so young!?! Should I move her food bowls up high so she can't do this yet?? Apart from that the kittens are thriving and love to play fight with each other and they have started to lick alot I was giving them a supplant bottle yesterday as they were hungry and peppa didn't want to come down to feed them atall and as I was testing the milk on my wrist oreo liked the milk from my wrist!?! And iv noticed they are all starting to groom there self's too they always licking there fur on there paws.. x here is there updated weekly pics x

The kittens look healthy and so cute [emoji]128149[/emoji].
Let your cat lead her babies to the bowl. This is what good moms do. She is teaching them so they will begin to wean soon and eat and learn the litter box. It's the next step and very natural for her to do this, so please do not interfere. In fact, they will learn more quickly!
Since she is doing this, you can put moistened kitten chow and wet food food down for them on a flat plate so they can reach it. It may be that the kittens are hungry and ready to begin the transition. With 6 kittens mom may not have enough milk to satisfy their growing needs.
Thanks for the update. Let us know how the weaning process goes!

Ok ill do that thanks for the advice.. what's best to use the wet kitten food in jelly or the paté type food? I was worrying as they are only 3 weeks I was scared they would try to eat some and choke 
everything iv read on the Internet says don't wean kittens till they are at least 4-5 weeks thats why i removed them i wasnt sure what the right thing to do was.. I guess if she is doing it now she must instinctively know her babies are ready.. x

Pate is easiest for kittens. You can make a mush of it by adding water or preferably, kitten milk. Either way it makes it easier for them to lap it up.

I can't get out to get any packets of the pate kitten food untill tomorrow so I blended up half a pouch of kitten wet food with my hand blender and added some kitten milk it's like a sloppy porridge consistency now, I just wanted to check this would be ok for them before I feed it them..- Thread Starter Thread Starter

This is what iv made up for them, do I need to warm it a little in the microwave first? I made it up with warm kitten milk but by the time I give it to them in 20 mins or so it will of gone cold
