Hello! I am fostering a stray mama cat and her litter. The kittens are 5 weeks old as of today. There are 4 kittens and they're all doing great with weight gain. Over the weekend, they started showing interest in Mom's wet food, so I put out some wet food mixed with KMR for them. Only two of the kittens have wanted to eat the food. A third kitten wants to eat Mom's kitten kibble, but has no interest in the wet food. The 4th kitten has not wanted to eat any of it. They are all still nursing as well.
My questions are--
1. How often should I put out wet food for them? Do I need to keep mixing with KMR? They like the Royal Canin Babycat which is super soft.
2. Is it ok for the one kitty to eat kibble at this age? They definitely have teeth, but I worry about her trying to eat the pieces whole. Should I give her some softened kibble?
3. Anything I can do to get the 4th one interested, or just give him time?
Thanks!
