Ive done a couple of litters over the years, But was wondering is anyone could give me some tips..
Ive got a lone kitten, about 3-4 weeks old.. my problem is that she doesnt seem to have a suck reflex, she mouths the bottle and tries chewing on it but gets frustrated and gives up. Ive been syringe feedin her instead to make sure she gets some food, but its a very small amount before she gets upset.
Ive tried mixxing a lil kitten meat with formula on a plate, but she shows no interest in it and goes back to rooting for food (Mouthing, pawing) at my leg, so i know she is hungry.
Does anyone have any tips? Only thing left that i can think of is tube feeding, which im not keen on doing unless its absolutely necessary.
