Mother's milk is enough for very young kittens. And when the mustachioed crumbs grow up, their diet should already include proteins, fats and carbohydrates, which are necessary for the full growth of the animal. How to train a kitten to eat solid food?
Instructions
Step 1
If your pet refuses to eat, then it may just be very young. Do not take kittens from the mother earlier than 2-2, 5 months. It is at this age that babies are already beginning to try new food, various foods appear in their diet.
Step 2
Currently, a sufficient amount of cat food is produced, so there is no need to cook separately for the kitten. In canned food for cat food, all the necessary elements necessary for the growth of the animal are balanced. Therefore, it is possible to start feeding a kitten with canned food. First, add milk to such food, and when the kitten tastes new ingredients, they can be given separately.
Step 3
As soon as you notice that the kitten is hungry (while it may meow, stick out its tongue, looking into your eyes), take it to the kitchen to a bowl of food. Gently poke the baby's nose into the food. He will definitely lick his lips and taste the new food. If suddenly the kitten refuses canned food, offer meat instead of fish or change the brand of the manufacturer.
Step 4
At the same time, you can give a little dry cat food. First, add a little milk or water to it. The kitten's teeth are still very small, so it may not yet cope with the unwashed pellets of food.
Step 5

Step 6
