weaning kittens

[lute]

sorry i havn't posted any more pics of the kittens. my camera broke. :( the kittens are 6 weeks old now! playing all the time, showing their personalities, etc. i have tried giving them watered down kitten food. they refuse to eat it and just go running to PiddyBob. she only lets them feed from her. i did get one of them to eat a little bit of a small can of wet food yesterday.

any tips on how to get them to eat solid food?

I Would Get The Baby Kitten Food From Royal Canin Which Is Almost Always Bargain Priced.
Thats What The Kitten Trio Got And They Loved It.

Get some quality canned kitten food and add a little water or KMR to it to soften it up. Put it in a saucer and put a little on your finger and give it to the kittens. Then put them up to the saucer. It's not a pretty sight, as they will get VERY messy. But it won't take them long to get the idea. Also make sure they have dry kitten food too along with plenty of water.

Good luck. Kittens are wonderful, aren't they!!!
