Well lucky for me and them, this is only a weekend thing. I get freaked out if I don't think they've eaten enough. I feel as if I'm constantly wiping to get them to go potty. Poor guys...they are awfully cute.

The one that has me worried is the runt. She's VERY small and only eats about a mL/meal. Is this okay? I would guess they are only about a week old at this point and I just want to make sure they make it to their 20th birthdays.

Also, the large black male has diarrhea. Is this normal?

They also make sure cute noises when they are feeding. "MMMurp." I love them.
diarrhea can be a sign of worms, or parasites.
Have they been to Vet for worming meds? (a fecal exam is uneccessary, just go ahead and treat for worms)

I don't know how old they are.


I've never cared for kittens younger than 5 weeks. By then, they are starting to 'clean up'. Not so much food on the face or p**p on the butt.

I have had several 8 week olds.

I'm working my there, to the tiny ones and maybe a queen and her litter one day.
