Thread: Force feed/drink

I would say it is more likely that he hadn't got to the age of knowing what chewing was all about,I would even wonder if his correct age was 8 weeks by what is being said,more likely 6 when he was handed over comes to mind with his behaviour pattern,any "breeder" that can let a babe go so young isn't to be trusted anyway,would also account for not being too much into biscuits yet & also the fact that babe isn't eating very much at each sitting,tum still has to grow into accepting food & also accounts for falling asleep so quickly after each small amount he has taken,he is still at the weaning off stage,make sure you are giving him wet kitten food as that has everything in at this stage to help him grow,I went off of here last night to check which would be more of an advantage to him nutri + or nourishm as I have had both in the past although I keep nutri gel + in my cats first aid cabinet now & at that point my breeder phoned so asked her as she always looks into everything & knew it would save me & she said the nutri + gel but obviously its whatever you can get him to take although all of mine will take the gel off of my finger but as a babe you just put it from your finger straight onto the tounge anyway. Here's hoping in another couple of weeks he will be the bouncy babe you expect with a nice rotund belly to match the his food intake.....x

Thank you everyone he has had a really good day today 4 meals so far today polishing one of complety so really pleased with him today he has learnt to "fly" lol jumps of our sofa with legs everywere so the food is finally gettin sone energy into him

As for the weigh ins im not sure how much there charging but to be honest having the vet do this is extra peace of mind he is called the posh cat there lol there first MC they say lol
so fingers crossed ronnie carrys on with his feeds and we get to hold a lil podgy kitten and not feel his lil bones no more xx

Sounds like progress... well done!
