weight gain


Just wonder if anyone can tell me what sort of weight a kitten should gain per day.Next doors kittens are gaining between 15-20g per day...have almost doubled their birth weight in 5 days!Is this ok?

Re: weight gain


I have most experience with hand-reared kittens who tend to gain weight a little slower but I think typically they should gain 10-12g daily and they should ideally double their birth weight in the first 7-10 days. Hope that helps?
