Question
Hi,

One more question and I will leave you alone. I was wanting to know if you have to hand feed the babies what formula should you use? Someone told us kitten formula but we was wanting to make sure.

Answer
Hi,
I use a special formula that i mix myself. I had a vet tell me that it makes a good formula for all mammals that need nursing. Here it is...
1 can of evaparated milk
1 can of water-the can the milk came from
1 egg yolk- not the white though
1 table spoon of kayro syrup
Mix all together. You can freeze it if you make large amounts. Just thaw and warm to skin temperature.
I have good sucess with it, and as a matter of fact we are nursing a kitten on it now, and he is doing realy well.

http://www.islandgems.net/handfeeding.html gives a good list of milks in the pefered order of use, if you choose not to use my recipe. dont feel as if you are wasting my time, i love to help those who ask.
