Re: fresh meat


Twice? They may well need a lot more than that at their age, at least 3 or 4 times while they are babies.

Re: fresh meat


Mine have dried food down all the time. As Dawn says your babies should have 3-4 meals a day at their age or to leave it down for them to 'graze' at it. That is what I recommend the new owners of my kittens do and there has never been a problem. Did the breeder not give you a sheet on how they were used to being fed?

Re: fresh meat


We're just trying chicken wings today for the first time. The cats look very puzzled! They're 2 years old now, I never thought of doing it before. I was in Sainsburys earlier and as they were only £1.16 for a box (11wings) I thought I'd give it a go. I'll let you know later if they get round to eating them!

Re: fresh meat


Oh well, that was a dead loss! absolutely no interest whatsoever. They had plenty of opportunity, I've only just cleared the chicken up. Maybe I'll try again another day.
