We just got our new little guy last night he's 8 weeks old but very tiny and now we're thinking he's younger than we were told and not weened cause he won't eat or drink water. Should we bottle feed him kmr formula?

He’s old enough to eat. He’s just frightened right now by his new people and environment and being away from his mom and litter mates.

Put his formula in a dish, offer dry kitten chow and wet food, and give him time. He’ll come around soon and start playing and eating.

You could of course bottle feed formula or goats milk... but most probably he is scared and will eat by himself when he has landed.


When he is visibly calmer, start to entice him with this and that..
