I also have kittens with out a mother that i am fostering, fortunately I have help from the SPCA. Here's some tips. First, the little hutch sounds nice and warm they will enjoy that. The kittens will also need space to run and play , but it sounds like you have that handled too. If your kittens are 4 weeks or under you will need to feed them from a bottle, here's what you do. If the formula is powder then fill the bottle half way full with that and the rest water. If it is a liquid formula then I can't help you. Also when they are 3-5weeks old you will want to have a bowl of watered down canned kitten food out. Depending on the kitten they will need feed 2-4 times a day, but that also depends on how much they eat at a time. If you just got your kittens then the first two days you have them they may not poop because of the change of food. Here's where you come in. it may sound a little bit gross but a mother cat will lick the kittens bottom and eat it's poop. So you need to take a warm rag and softly , in circular motions, wipe its bottom. ( but don't eat it.) If the kitten still hasn't pooped in three days of having them you will need to take them in to the vet and have them flushed out. I also recommend that you don't try to make the kittens environment quiet they need to get used to noise. Other than that they need lots and lots of love, care, and attention. Good luck!
Get yourself to this website (link below) and get to work. This is something you need to do immediately. GO GO GO! The kitties will die if you don't act fast.
After you feed the kittens. Take a warm wet washcloth an clean the kittens. This will help them go potty. If they are real young, you will need to do this after they go potty. Good luck with the kittens.
You can do this by wiping their bottom and genitals with a wet cotton ball until you see them go. Do it every time you feed them.
theres a easy answer to your question first this might sound silliy but you need to tie a bunch of babby botals together,and fill them whith milik to feen it .and to "stimulete" them use some fure to gentals wipe them not real fur of cours beacuse there mother whould do it whith her head
Yes indeed, this was the worse job ever. I raised a kitten from two days old. I would hold her over a disposable container and wipe under her tail with a wet Q tip swab until she did her business. When she wouldn't poop I took her to the vet and he rubbed her lower stomach with a wet cotton ball and she instantly had her bowel movement. After a while she would just go on her own in her "area". I went through a lot of rags in those days. But it was worth it, she is such a beautiful and lovable cat now a year and a half later.
