Need some advice on baby kittens

[badsiss2]

Hi
I have 4 kittens that are 21 days old.Their mom has been gone for 2 days now.I have been feeding them and they are adapting well.I rub their tummys after each feeding to burp them but I have had no luck with getting them to go poop.Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm no expert but I have assisted someone else in the past. She was our "kitten lady" for our local humane society. After feeding, she would get moist soft cloth and lightly rub the bum and around that area. That's what the mother does to get them to pee and poop. You say you are rubbing the tummy....try moving down south a little more.

Good luck and welcome to Pet Talk.

Good advice Slick gave you. Are you giving them KMR milk as shown here..

Since we were so helpful, ah...hem... Could we be rewarded with some pictures?

This is a very nice place and I hope you hand around so we can watch and hear how the babies do.
