Have they all been gaining well? A while back one of them hadn't been doing well in the weight-gain department?

What sweet photos! How are they doing now? Are you recognizing different personalities with the kittens?

Oh yes! They have very different personalities. They're starting to want out of the box a lot to explore the pen, but Fiona doesn't like that too much. The darkest one is fairly quiet and timid. She squeaks and chirps if she gets too far from mama. Then the biggest one is very curious. Likes to be out of the box and watching us through the holes in the pen, or tries to stick a paw through. Also loves watching mama at the food dish. Then the other one is a little stinker! Loves to wander when out of the box, then climb on siblings and bite them and mom on the chin!! I think 2 are girls and 1 a boy. I still have a hard time being able to tell unless there is a sack sticking out lol sorry if that was gross

Sorry these are dark and fuzzy.
In this one he was relaxing and chewing his paw lol

When do I start doing solids/water/litter box? They're starting to spend more time loose in their pen and are really interested in mama's food and water. One kitten was drinking her water today. They were born July 31st.

You can prob begin.
Use nonclumping litter.

Observe when they change food their poo changes too and momma wont eliminate them any longer.

Thanks, guess I'll google and look stuff up. Kind of annoying you start a thread and they all get merged and then no other replies. Also, can you move the other replies in this thread to their own please? They seem like they should be in their own, not mine. Thank you

Wasn't gonna post anything else, but they're cute so changed my mind.

Feeling frustrated with people who are wanting the kittens when they're ready. The darkest one still needs a home, and a friend is interested. Someone I used to work with asked me if she is still available. I said a friend might take her, but they won't be ready until first week of October or until they're fully weaned/8 weeks old. She started sending me gifs of people rolling their eyes and even said "kittens are a dime a dozen, I'll get one somewhere else!" I said she isn't a couch you're getting on Facebook buy and sell. Sometimes I really don't like people.

Kittens have been eating their moms crunchie food....theyre only 4.5 weeks old. I haven't introduced them to solids yet as I couldn't get the right litter for them and I figured they need both at the same time.


Is it bad they're eating dry kitten food? They're still mostly nursing. And they've been tasting her water too.
