    Weaning questions

    My husband read the bottle feeding page and told me that we would have to sterilize the bottle every 4 hours. This is impossible since the kitchen is torn out due to remodel. We don't have a stove at the moment and what's the difference between getting up every 3 hours to every 4 hours. I guess...

    Weaning questions

    As many of you know my husband and I have been hand feeding our kits since they were about a day old because they were rejected by their mother. Well we are at 3 weeks tomorrow and they seem very healthy. I have questions on the next steps though... We are currently feeding them every 3 hours...

    An update and need names

    So many of you gave advice and helped us with the first week of our new babies lives. (If you don't know what I'm referring to then see my previous posts on us asking how to care for rejected kits). Well the babies are doing great and are gaining weight. They are eating hay in between our milk...

    Thank you for your advice Just to let you know I did read the FAQ and started them on goat milk originally then a vet told my husband ( I wasn't there) to use kitten formula. I went with the vets advice until I went this time to this second vet and completely lost confidence when I felt I was...

    help, 3 day old kit has diarrhea

    Husband again. Yes, we read the FAQ. Much of what we did was before we had found this site, and many of my questions are based on questions where I think our situation may differ from the standard, or where I found the FAQ unclear. For example we read about one formula which uses the rice...

    help, 3 day old kit has diarrhea

    Husband here. We weren't using cereal but will now. What should we use, rice or oatmeal cereal? We're thinking oatmeal as it has more fiber so might help with the diarrhea. We went to a vet who injected them with some kind of sugar water and gave them some Karo syrup to eat as he thought they...
