Foster babies wont eat kitten food? ?

Question

wet or dry. ive tried everything. i think they will be bottle babies forever, lol.

any suggestions?

Answer 1

get some science diet a/d and mix with the kitten formula, you may have to put this in a syringe and squirt the mixture into their mouths gradually decrease the amount of formula in the A/D continue to feed with the syringe and keep offering the canned food in a dish as well,

good luck

Answer 2

How old are the kittens? Most kittens will start to wean off the bottle at 6 weeks and go for food or both. Or try eliminating the option for them, don't bottle feed them for a while and give them wet food (cats ALWAYS like this better, try warming it up if you want). If none of this works, try calling a vet to see whats up. Good luck :)

Answer 3

OK - if they a still being bottle feed and it is time for them to come off then try mixing some babies infant cereal with a little milk making the consistency runny like and if they don't l**k it up on their own pat a little on their mouth and try this til they start l*****g it up on in a little time, once they start to l**k it up regular pace then thicken it and then add the dry food to some milk and eventually you'll have them eating it out of the bag just as it is.

I wish you luck!

Answer 5

Put a little of the bottle formula on the dry food, but make sure they eat it at that time, don't let it sit in the bowl like that for too long.

Answer 6

Well, i know this sounds silly, but i have a foster cat, and i had the same problem, one morning i was so angry i gave it dog food, and it ate it.

i thought i'd be cheeky and gave it mouse food, and it once again ate it.

you should try it.

If my information doesn't work, try asking a local vet or doctor.

Answer 7

When I raised kittens on baby formula (for humans). I also had a hard time changing them to other food. The way I did it was by adding a small amount of cat food to the baby formula so they would get used to the taste, then a little later, when they were very hungry I put the food on the end of my finger and they would l**k it off, then slowly, with a lot of patients, they did start to eat canned food, if I put formula in it.

I did get worried about whether of not they were getting enough protein, so I added some protein powder that I got from the health food store.

They grew into healthy cats.

Answer 8

Bottle babies are the absolute hardest to wean!  You have to be consistent with the food and back off of the formula, maybe two to three times a day.  Offer the food lots of times in between and sometimes it works if you get a little bit into their mouths.  Just don't give up!
