I finally got it! The little turkey (little gray) won't stay still for me, but as long as he is right by one of his siblings he will stay calm. So what I'm doing with him is letting him eat every time I switch groups because he doesn't take anyones important nipple and he actually goes to a good nipple in the gray group. so I let him eat about every hour with mama then every hour with me. It's a pain but I know he is getting what he needs. my question is, can he have too much food?
I also figured out a way to keep mama calm when Its the gray turns (everytime I take the whites away they cry like little babies and never stop). I just keep their box right by mama and love on her. She gets upset every once in a while, because I mean they will NEVER stop crying, but she will actually stay still for the grays this way. Last night she keep coming into the other room when I took the whites away, meaning less food for my gray babies.
And a question about The maMa. I saw she had some bloody discharge last night and a little this morning. Is that normal? I do NOT want anything to happen to the mama and just wanna make sure she is in the clear. I have been feeding her whenever she gets up, and she has been using the restroom normally. No diarrhea so yay!
I haven't had the chance to weigh the babies yet, after mama gets up for her break I have to help the babies potty then I feed the mama, get her fresh water, and clean up any mess, and by then she is already back and watching the babies like a hawk. I want to keep her as stressfree as possible.
Even though these babies keep me busy and up all night I am so so glad I was able to take their mama in and make sure they each got a fighting chance..I just don't know if I would ever want to do nine kittens again haha. This is defiantly some hard work!
Once again, and I know I say it all the time, but thank you all SO SO much. I Don't know what I would have done without this community. [emoji]10084[/emoji][emoji]10084[/emoji]
