Understanding Your Kitten’s Nutritional Needs

Before we get started on exactly how much formula your little one should be taking in, it’s important to understand what nutritional requirements your 3-week-old kitten has.

At this young age, most kittens are still nursing from their mother or surrogate; however, some may require supplementing due to illness or abandonment. According to animal care experts, a newborn kitten typically requires about 8-10 mL (milliliters) of formula per ounce of body weight each day.

This means that if your kitty weighs around roughly…Well, let’s hope you already know approximately how heavy it is! If so then it would help if you weighed the innocent baby! You can weigh yourself holding the tiny fluff ball first then weigh yourself without her afterwards and subtract the difference It doesn’t take long and well worth getting an accurate measurement so she receives optimal nutrition!

Back on topic – If (tiny bundle) weighs between 14 – 18 ounces (around half a kilo), he/she will require between120ml ​​and 180ml. Keep in mind these numbers vary depending on breed genetics as well as activity levels.

When Should I Feed My Kitten?

It’s common for people new to raising kittens not knowing when they should feed their new companion accurately. As such question arises “when precisely should you be feeding your 3-week-old kitten?”

Typically, a newborn or newly born kitten has to eat every two hours around the lock or daily about five-six time.

If (small fluffster) looks energetic and happy after a meal session, then you should increase feedings at least until he/she shows some signs of being full.

It’s best to allow your kitten(s) constant access to food(that is formula in this case), but avoid overfeeding. If your baby feline happens to drink more than 180 ml per day while still seeming hungry, consult with a veterinarian for proper dietary recommendations.

Syringe Feeding

Feeding with syringes makes administering small amounts of nutrition much simpler than overly delightful treats would provide pre-exercise sessions — this approach also lessens messes because drips won’t continuously spill from excessively sized nipples as they tend too often in bottle-feedings.

Choose any method out of these mentioned above based on simply which ones work best given individual circumstances / situations involving tiny companion animals(meow).
