How long before I feed new kittens?

awww are you not just in love with them helen!

they are the sweetest wee angels, very very spoilt wee angels by the looks of it too 

sounds as if they'll be the best of friends too

Yeah, have got James Wellbeloved kitten.  Am going to wait until they are settled on NM before I introduce that though, don't want any poorly tummies.  Just checked on them and they are snuggled up together sound asleep

yeah mines all love natures menu, it was me who had the problem 

will you be giving them dry food?

Well, Riley has eaten 1 1/2 small portions and Kali has had nothing    She's fine in herself though, whirling round and climbing on things 

At the moment they are on Whiskas kitten.  I'm going to start them on Natures Menu, I was a bit worried about only having one flavour for them too but a couple of people on here said their kittens were OK with it.

what will you be feeding them helen?

when i got charlie home i had to wean him from felix to natures menu, took about 4-5 days, gradually putting more n/m in.

the only thing i hate about n/m is the fact that the kitten kind only comes in chicken, recently i've started mixing some hi-life kitten in too bc that has a bit of variety  he's taken fine to that too

Thanks Lynn, will do.  It's so great having this forum for advice

i'd put out a little bit helen, maybe only to give them a "snack" and see how you get on then if they are ok you can give them abit more at tea time

Kali and Riley have been home for about an hour now.  The journey was OK but Riley was sick half way through.  I'm not overly worried, I think it was travel sickness (journey was about an hour) as it was only a little bit and he is fine now, he's been bounding around and is now fast asleep snuggled up next to Kali.

How long should I leave it before I put some food down for them?  They already have water down.
