Yes, there is, It is just full of cabinets, so no room that is not a falling hazard should i move the nest to where she keeps putting them?

 

[Sarthur2]

Yes, I think you should move it where she keeps putting them.

 

[PippaRory21]

Ok, I will

 

[Sarthur2]

Hopefully, she'll stop moving them.

 

[PippaRory21]

Sarthur2 She just keeps moving them around. I put them in her chosen spot, but no matter what I do she moves them out of the nest, just never together. She will bring one or two out of the nest and leave the others

 

[Sarthur2]

That's odd.

Are all kittens gaining weight daily? Are they staying warm?

 

[PippaRory21]

Sarthur2 Yes and yes,
Todays weights are:
#1-135g + 15g
#2-155g + 30g
#3-155g + 15g
#4-150g +23g
I now have her in there nursing, and all is well again. I think she just didn't understand that the were in the spot she wanted, and not in their old spot.

 

[Sarthur2]

Excellent weights!

 

[PippaRory21]

After another kitten search and rescue party, I found them in my PJ drawer. Everything in there is safe, and it would be a good spot, except for the fact that she can get behind it, and I can't, so there is the danger of the kittens getting stuck back there.

 

[PippaRory21]

Todays weights are
#1-150g +15
#2-170g +15
#3-180g +25
#4-175g +25

 

[Sarthur2]

It's good you found them. She appears to be looking for privacy. Can you cover 3 sides of a crate for her? Or cover a box and cut a door in it? Maybe that would keep her from moving them.

Weights are good!

 

[PippaRory21]

She is in a cardboard box with the lid on

Rory is now in a compromised spot in the corner. The kittens are starting to open their eyes now, they are around 1.5 weeks now. The small one was gaining fine, and even bought up to the others, but a few mornings ago she stopped gaining weight. We have started bottle feeding her, as well as getting mom all to herself for a minute when I get home from work. Is there anything else we can do? Thanks. She already has been picked out by the perfect family, and it would be a shame if she didn't make it.

 

[Sarthur2]

You need to continue supplementing her as often as possible - at least 3-4 times each day. She needs to gain 6-10 grams per day.

How many mLs does she drink from the bottle each time?

 

[PippaRory21]

The kittens are now 5 weeks old. Today they are going to meet their new families, and then will be off in a few more weeks! Our friends(They are vets) sent us with vaccines to give them next week. We sexed them and there are two girls and two boys. Thanks for helping me raise four beautiful babies!

Would love to see updated photos!

To be clear, the families are coming to your house to meet the kittens?

And how old will they be when they leave? They should really stay together until 10-12 weeks old.

 

[PippaRory21]

Yes. They are coming to our house. The kittens will stay until 10 weeks old, then we have to go on our summer trip. Photos on the way!
