For the kittens to start eating solid food and litter training!
I was curious as to when should I start and how to.
They are coming up on 4 weeks on Tuesday and want to make sure I have the things I need and an idea of how to do it.
I plan on feeding them dry kitten food soaked in KMR, but I know that for bottle feeding you mix 1 tablespoon with 2 tablespoons of water per so many ounces they weight, but if I am using it to soften hard food, does it really matter the ratio of mixing?
Litter training- I have read most to use one of those metal disposable pans filled with kitty litter. So that's what I plan on doing. The only problem is the spot Sophia has them in doesn't really allow for a pan to go in there as well, as well as whenever the kittens are outside of that area, because we take them out and put them on the floor for them to roam for a few minutes at a time, and she freaks out! I don't exactly want to upset her by doing it, but she really wants them to stay where she has them, so what would be that best way to go about this?
Any tips or advice would be awesome!
Thanks in advance!!
Here are some updated pictures of the boys! (Sorry about quality they were taken with my phone)
Milo in the front and Melvin in the back
Milo (Our vet calls him Delta, because he has the delta triangle on his face and calls Melvin Obama, for whatever reason!
)
Melvin doesn't like close ups! He turns his head every time!
