Much to my joy and dismay, Frogs and Bunny have started to wean. This is great, as it means they are growing up. This also stinks, because it means that they…
1) Won’t latch on the bottle.
2) Don’t know how to eat from a bowl.
3) Like to play/roll/bathe in said bowl of food.
The next week or two will be smelly, frustrating, and stressful for me as I watch their weight and poops fluctuate as they learn how to eat and their bodies adjust to solid food. On the plus side, they started to use their litter box yesterday!
The last shelter I fostered for would let me send kittens back at this age so I could take in new neonates and skip weaning altogether, but I’m enjoying the satisfaction of seeing my kittens all the way through to adoptable age.
