Ive been raising a litter of orphaned kittens.....?

Question

they are now a few days over 8 weeks and they have started to hiss at each other. They all have homes and will be seperated after they recieve their vaccines (on monday). Should I be concerned about the hissing? Is it normal? I cant tell if it is territorial. Should I seperate them untill they go to their homes? They are in a cage designed for a 150lb dog and there are four of them. They have plenty of room and we take them out for a minimum of 5 hours a day.

Answer 1

Answer 2

they are practicing thier skills. It's normal and just their way of playing.

Answer 4

It is normal for kittens to act aggressive toward each other by hissing and even fighting/wrestling/slapping each other. It is part of their regular development, as when they are adults they will be very independent. Right now, it is actually better for them to be together because they need to go through these developmental stages.
