Hi guys! New to the site here!
A few days ago I took home two orphaned kittens. According to the people that found them, their mama died. They were going to just turn them loose so I took them home. One was noticeably smaller and weaker than the other, and died the morning after I took them home.
Anyway, I still have the other one who seems to be doing well despite it being alone. It is about 3 weeks old or so. Its stayed nice and warm and clean and I have been feeding it replacement milk.
When and how do I start introducing solid foods? What kind is best?
Also, when and how do I need to introduce the kitten to a litter box? Right now it goes to the bathroom in the crate that its in. (I of course change the bedding twice a day and keep the crate and kitten as clean as I can)
ALSO: Any other kitten advice is appreciated... as I have never cared for a kitten, especially one this new and in such a fragile state. Thanks!!!
