Hello all!
One of my queens had a single kitten in the night. We were not surprised as she has had a singleton in the past. Another of my queens (I have 3), is enormously pregnant and due on Sunday. Historically the second queen has had 8 kittens and she required help feeding them. We ended up feeding 3 for her and she raised the other 5 successfully.
My question is this, will the queen with 1 kitten be able to successfully foster 3 kittens from the other queen, when she has been feeding only 1 for 5 days? Will she be able to adapt and produce enough milk?
Anyone with experience with adding foster kittens to a small litter? I’m obviously going to try and track weights but just looking for a heads up or anyone else’s experience.
Thank you!
