Their mother's milk dried up and a friend has been caring for them. I have them now, but I have to be gone for the night. If I put some KMR milk out for them will they be ok til tomorrow afternoon? Or do they need to be fed every few hours?
Answers:
When we had kittens I would put out some moist cat food in a low sided dish and kind of separate it into little piles so they could all get some. They don't eat much. But if you put someting out for them they should be ok for the night.
Since their mother's milk dried up they will get hungry and figure out they should eat. Some of the kittens eat food before others.
Then in about a week you can switch to dry kitten food and a dish of water.
They should be old enough to eat food.
hate to tell you...every few hours
they need to be fed every 2-4 hours and they need to have someone around to make sure they are okay and that the mom cat does her job
Feed them whenever they are awake until 6 weeks old.
Are these guys going potty on their own and eating out of a saucer? If they are 4 weeks old, it is hard to believe that they are weaned. If they are not weaned, they need to be fed every two hours. I have left them up to 8 hours before, but it is not good to do that. I would never leave a baby that small alone over night.
u have 2 feed them once every hour
If they are that young every 2or3 hours daily till they are 7to 8weeks,when my cats milk dried up i gave the babies baby cereal like rice' and add a little milk and they loved it,,,i still had to feed them with a dropper though.they are now 20 pounds main coon cats healthy and happy.. lol
