To make 30mL of milk: mix 1 level scoop of powder (6.5g) with 25mL of pre-boiled warm water. To make one litre of milk: mix 215g of powder with 850mL of pre-boiled warm water. Add half the water to the powder first and mix to a paste. Then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Pre-boil the water to ensure it is sterilised. If the water is too hot it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold then it will be difficult to mix the powder. Wombaroo contains elevated protein levels, so the milk needs to be well mixed to prevent it from separating out. An electric whisk can be used for mixing larger quantities. Milk can be stored in the fridge for up to a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. It is useful to make milk up in larger volumes, and store it frozen in small portions (eg ice cube trays), so that the required feed volumes can be easily thawed out. Once thawed out, discard any unused milk, and wash feeding utensils thoroughly. FEEDING: Warm milk to about 35°C. Feed from a bottle with teat, a Wombaroo C teat is recommended. In emergency cases tube feeding may be required, but this should be performed under veterinary guidance. Feed every 2 hours for the first 3 days, reducing this to every 4 hours by week one and every 6 hours by week two. Stimulate kittens to defecate and urinate after each feed. Encourage kittens to lap once their eyes are open and voluntary bowel motions begin. To avoid dehydration give kittens a drink of pre-boiled water between feeds, particularly in hot weather. Always offer kittens drinking water once their eyes are open and they become active. Consult your veterinarian or breeder for particular advice about caring for your breed of kitten. GROWTH: Kitten body weight should increase by about 10-15g per day. It is important to weigh kittens regularly to verify weight gains and determine if the correct volume of milk is being fed. Overfeeding milk can cause diarrhoea so feed the suggested volumes for the weight of the kitten, as listed on the pack. WEANING: Kittens should begin to show interest in solid food at about four weeks of age. Start by offering a small portion of dried kitten food soaked in milk. Continue to increase the solids and reduce milk intake until they are fully weanedGROWTH: Kitten body weight should increase by about 10-15g per day.
