Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys could share your experiences with me. I just started fostering and I have a few questions that are not important enough to bother my coordinator with xD I have 2 two week old kittens named Bumble and Bee c: Such cuties!
– The two kittens suckle on my hand even when they aren’t hungry, is this just a sort of calming thing? Sometimes they even fight for the same spot on my hand to nom on LOL.
– 3 weeks is the age to try and get them to use the litter box and start weaning them right?
– If they do not get up and cry, is it alright to not feed them until they wake up? They slept for 6 hours once and I had to wake them up to feed them again. Should I be worried or will they really tell you when they are hungry?
– Does anyone have experience with a kitten who has a bit of a hard time pooping? Poor girl poops little pellets slowly while her brother poops so easily.
– Everyone says to put a heating pad on low, but mine is under a pet bed and a blanket, do you think medium is too hot for them? They don’t seem to move to the colder side so that’s a plus. Low just feels not warm enough, I would rather them move over if they are hot than not get warm enough.
– When can you stop using a heating pad?
I’ll add more questions when I have them but i’m excited to hear everyone’s experiences!
