Thank you I will keep that in mind. They have been weighed every day at the same time up to 11days old and then I dont know why but I went 7 days without weighing them. Or at least without recording the weight. I still weighed them

She was one of the smaller kittens and doesnt look underweight, I generally monitor their weight gain by comparing them with the kitten that was born closest in weigh to them and she has gained 20g less than the kitten that was closest in weight to her.

Ok another question. The main kitten Luna keeps moving and bringing to me is the black female. I just weighed her for the first time in a week and shes only gained 40g. She weighs 250g at 18days old. Her siblings have all gained 60g+. Should I consider a couple of supplement feeds during the day...

Thank you for the advice.

So I am after some advice in regards to ensuring the kittens develop well and have the best start for going to their new homes. I've tried googling it but like everything else google gives contradictory advice. Kittens are now 18 days old. They are becoming more mobile, eyes are open and...

Well after her game of hide and seek kittens yesterday, Luna decided that everytime I went to sleep she would pick up a kitten, move it from the box and drop it on my head. It was a long night. If I wasnt worried about me squashing them or them falling off the bed I would have just left them in...

Sorry for the lack of updates. Been a busy week and I've been staying hands off with the kittens except for weighing. They are all gaining weight well. Opening their eyes now as well, they're kind of mobile and male ginger is becoming a noisy little chirper now he's discovered his voice. Luna...

Already got her booked in for when they're weaned. I'm not keeping any of the kittens but I will be insisting that any prospective owners neuter. Either that or I will get them neutered and charge the new owners for it to be done. I dont want them caught out like I was. Any I cant find homes for...

Lunas kittens today at 6days old. Definitely two female, two male and growing strong.

Update on the little kittens, they're now 5days old. Each has gained 50g or more (some as much as 70g) and are well on target for doubling their weights. Luna is still being very tentative to them but admittedly does use me as nanny when I go up. (Leaves the nest and goes for a quick look around...

Ok just reweighed the smallest (I was hoping I just weighed too early in the morning) either she weighed wrong earlier or its lost weight. I'm going to leave it be for the mean time but how long should I give for the kitten to pick up its weight before stepping in? I dont want to step in if I...

So morning weigh in. All but 1 of the kittens gained 10g or more. The smallest ginger one (the one I'm most concerned for) only gained 7g. On top of that I am actually away on business for the next two nights and I cant find anyone to check in with the kittens. As long as I make sure the space...

I swear I wasnt this nervous and worried about my own kids as a new mum. Lol

That's good. I was worried me popping into the room was disturbing her. She just seems to want company when I go in though. I'm just worried that the kittens will get cold when she's out. I'm waiting on a heat mat to turn up and I'm wary about using the wheat bags I have as I dont want them to...

So I've popped in on her a couple of times today. Is it normal in the first 24hours that she will leave the nest and just chill in other parts of the room?

I'll have a look for a heat pad. And I will double check the gender of ginger female at weigh in tomorrow. She isnt as vibrant orange as the other she has more brown tones to her coat that doesnt show well on camera. To be honest I was surprised when she appeared to be female. I've only ever...

I do have a couple of questions: 1. How much water should Luna be drinking? She's already half way through her third bowl today (approx 130mls, 180mls if you include the kitten formula as well) and I'm just wondering at what point it becomes classed as excessive. 2. Is it necessary to get a heat...

Well she gave birth to four healthy kittens in total. Two of each gender. Two black (male and female) and two ginger (male and female). I've just weighed them after giving them a good few hours to settle and the lightest is 94g and the heaviest a whopping 122g. Out of them all I'm most concern...

Yeah she found another box and she is currently birthing kitten #1
