Feeding kittens and sphinx cats

A lot is said about the importance of nutrition of any living organism. And it doesn’t matter if this is a plant, a cat or a person. But the fact is that the plant receives food from the ground, a person produces it himself, and the cat, especially homemade, only we can and should provide it. And if you are a nursing cat Sphinx, and even more so its children, you will feed with food like a whiskey or kitiket, then you have nothing to wait for them to be healthy and grateful to you for such care. To keep animals in the house, and it doesn’t matter who, you need to have money. We have no right to save on their nutrition.

The cat must have enough high -quality milk to feed the sphinx kittens. This period is called a period of lactation, that is, the period when in its mammary glands is formed, and then it is spent on feeding kittens milk, often called "colostrum".

The most important indicator is that the cat feeds normally is its weight constantly. Losing weight is categorically unacceptable. Really like this: during feeding, the cat should receive food three, or even four times more than usual. In order to maintain the secretion of breast milk at the proper level, the share of dairy products in its nutrition should be at least one third share. Every day try to add bone flour in a teaspoon. And at least once a week - fish oil (a few drops). By the way, both of these products they eat with pleasure. Feed the feeding cats of the Sphinx, plus at least three times a day give dairy products.

If the kittens are constantly squealing, they do not gain weight - there is only one conclusion: the mother does not have enough food. Maybe there are other reasons, then it is necessary to feed kittens ourselves. Experience shows: everyone is trying to feed children or cow's milk. This is not the best option. Best option: Make milk for them yourself.

It's simple: take two tablespoons of concentrated milk and boiled water, add one fourth part of a teaspoon (on the tip) of five percent glucose. The food is ready. Please note that the temperature of the water, and therefore the feed should be within thirty -eight degrees. If suddenly the kittens have a liquid chair - add less water. If you buy food, then take only special food (for newborns).

If you want to have strong and healthy kittens of the Sphinx, you will need to feed them eleven times a day. Yes, yes. We did not make a reservation: every two hours, regardless of the time of day. And so, two weeks. In the third week-every two to three hours, and at night you can once. But so that there is no break for more than four to five hours. For example: they fed at one in the morning, and the next time every five to six hours. It turns out, eight times a day. In the fourth week it will be easier for you: every three to four times. It turns out only six times. The principle is this: it is better a little, but more often. This is where it begins: work, school, how to combine. The best option is to devote your vacation to this. Perhaps a neighbor, volunteers, sisters from receivers and so on will help.

If we talk about the dishes with which you can feed them, then you need to know that there are two holes in the nipple of the cat. Given this, incite a needle and make two holes, for example, in a rubber tip from an ordinary pipette. What is the main thing here? The kitten must suck food, and not you must pour it into his mouth. The best option: to buy this "device" in a pet store in advance.

You, of course, are interested in: how much should a newborn kitten eat? Take for the calculated unit of weight (kitten) - one hundred grams. It will turn out like this in the day: the first four days - thirty grams, from the fifth to thirteenth - thirty -eight, from the fourteenth to twenty -fourth - forty -six and, finally, from the twenty -fifteen fifty days - fifty -three grams. We hope that you are excellent mathematicians and always calculate the norm depending on the weight of the Sphinx kitten. Let us give one example: if the weight is not a hundred, but one hundred and ten grams, then in the first four days it needs to be given thirty -three grams: we multiply by 30 and divide by 100.

There is such a very important nuance. Kittens first throw themselves at food and eagerly eat. The cat gives to eat, and then makes a break and massage the entire kitten, especially the tummy with their tongue. That's right: makes it possible to earn money, empty and then eat to the end. We also need to do, only, of course, not with a tongue, but a soft cloth or a swab. They did it alone - let him eat, take another and so.

And finally, let's answer the question that will definitely get up: how to make the Sphinx cat stopped developing milk, and excommunicate small ones from mom. We will offer you a slightly harsh method, but reliable. To get started, arrange a day of hunger and practically do not give water. In the next three days, the speaker is this: on the first day, give a fourth part of the portion that you gave. On the second day, half of her, and on the third - three of the four parts. All days - water is very limited. Everything can be fed further, as usual. Now you can calmly distribute or sell kids, your cat from mastitis will be protected.

Successful to you, healthy kittens and mums-cats!
