Mix a tablespoon of milk to a tablespoon of pate - so 50/50. They are adorable. [emoji]128149[/emoji]

Thanks. I know!! Too cute for words

Hi. Don't know if I'm being too impatient but it's been 3 days of constant trying and the kittens won't eat any food. They are obviously still feeding from mum. They will happily drink water and lap up kitten milk but not a lot but as soon as I add any food they won't touch it. Any suggestions?

Try Gerber chicken or turkey baby food. Otherwise, wait a few days and try again. They may not quite be ready yet. Most kittens wean by 8 weeks.

Ok, thanks. What is gerber? Also do you mean human baby turkey food?

 

[Sarthur2]

Yes, human baby food. Gerber makes a brand of this baby food. Where do you live?

Ah, you do not have this food. It has to be meat only, nothing else. In particular no onions or garlic.

Just wait until they are ready for the soft, pate-style wet cat or kitten food. They will get there soon!
