How much and how often to feed abandoned newborn kittens (0-1 week)?

Depending on the age of these kittens, they have to be fed quite frequently. Meowing a lot can be sign that they aren't getting enough to eat.

I am sorry to hear about your kittens! A commercially formulated kitten milk, such as KMR or Just Born are the best milk sources for your kitten and can be found at many pet stores or vet offices. Until you find this you can make your own milk at home following the recipe listed in this article, which also provides details on caring for orphaned kittens https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951456

Hello. Use a cardboard box as a nest box. Put in a towel, & then a disposable diaper to absorb liquids. Change as needed. Put a heating pad under 1/2 of the box, so the kittens can move as they need more or less warmth. Feed a Kitten Milk Replacer, either a premade liquid or a powder you mix as needed. If you cannot find a kitten milk, this is a formula you can try: 1/2 cup whole milk 1 egg yolk 1 drop multivitamins ( pet or children's ) 3 crushed Tums ( or calcium based antacid ) Feed every 2-3 hours during the day, but do not wake them to feed them. They should do OK all night. If diarrhea persists, you can temporarily add more water to the diet to meet fluid needs. Consider taking a stool sample to your veterinarian for parasite analysis. At 3-4 weeks, start to introduce a solid, soft diet. Good luck & thanks for rescuing the kittens. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Three weeks old is too young for a kitten to be separated from it's mother, so I would return him to his mother if possible. If he is an orphan, he should be fed every three hours. Check out this website for further details on raising an orphan kitten: http://www.2ndchance.info/orphankitten.htm

I would recommend getting a scale and weighing the kitten, which will help you assess its age by size and determine how much should be fed. You can read more about caring for orphaned kittens/how much to feed at https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-raise-orphan-kittens/ and https://www.petag.com/kitten-puppy-caregivers . As far as insects I am not sure what type of insects you are talking of, a photo may be helpful. For fleas we will sometimes bathe very carefully with dawn dish soap to kill fleas and comb them out, being careful to keep kitty warm and dry quickly so they don't lose body heat.

You can feed them canned kitten food mixed with an appropriate kitten milk replacer, such as KMR. Mix them to make a gruel or slurry. Have them examined by your veterinarian to diagnose and treat any pre-existing conditions and to deworm them. The deworming should be repeated every weeks for 3 treatments. Once they are about 8 weeks old, you can discuss vaccines or begin to rehome them.
