KIttens update

Just over three weeks old now, eyes open, and the biggest weighed 430 grams last night, nearly a pound. They can walk - or toddle - rather than crawling, and spend quite a lot of time exploring. Star has had a few health problems - her chin became swollen, perhaps because she spent so much time shredding the cardboard box for several days before and after the birth. Then she got a sore nipple, so off to the vets twice for antibiotics. Today the largest kitten managed to climb out of the box into the pen, which Star found quite disturbing. Just made a ramp so it will be able to get back in next time it does it. I've tried them with kitten milk on a saucer a couple of times, but Star has drunk it on their behalf.

 This video shows them crawling at two weeks old.
