Roughly, how many of those should a 3-4 week old kitten be going through in a day? I am having a heck of a time getting them to eat out of a dish since they are trying to suck it up. I never weaned kittens on my own before. I figured I would offer them the wet kitten glop on a shallow dish, actually it's a lid. But I am still offering them the bottle too. One takes the bottle no problem and will just snack a bit on the glop in the dish. The other two seem to have no idea how to eat from a dish or from a bottle, or I should say the are inconsistant, sometimes they will drink half a bottle and then suck up a little from the dish and sometimes, when I think it is about feeding time, they don't seem interested in eating at all.
I had one vet tell me they don't need KMR anymore and one tell me they do. I am just about out of KMR anyways so I was switching them to a mixture of a/d and Whiskas cat milk, water. I have the ingredients for that Kitten food recipe, the one with pedialyte and vitamins and stuff. I don't think they still need that do they?
Any advice would be appreciated but the main point of my post is to find out how much they should be eating in a day, roughly how many of those bottles?
Oh and should I assume that when they start to become uninterested in the bottle or dish of food, that they are done? Do kittens this young know to eat until they are full or will they stop and I should be pushing them to eat a little more?
