I know I just need to give them time and they will eventually catch on to wet food, but they will not lap formula at 5 weeks old. Do you think they will need to learn how before eating wet food? My past foster kittens never had trouble weaning.... and none of them like lapping formula either.
I talked to my foster coor. and we decided to just try wet food (without formula or water) and it worked! Well for two of them.... The black one which also happens to be the runt is not having it. I will just keep trying with her and hopefully she it start liking it cause they are biting through the bottle nipples. Is there anything I can do to try to get her to eat it?
i agree. I'm just saying what's happening. I would like the black one to start eating because she's just tearing about the nipples. so i would kind of like her to eat. Everyone else they can learn as slowly as possible.
You can try to put some on a spoon and see if she takes it that way. If she does, then slowly lower it to the plate. I have one that will take it from the spoon but as soon as I lower it, she walks away. So it doesn't always work. But it did for the other 2.
