I have a litter of kittens two weeks old. They weigh around 160gms each, I feel they should weigh more, does anyone have any opinions?

Kittens weigh about 100 grams (3-5 ounces) at birth and gain approximately 7 to 15 grams per day (a quarter to over half an ounce). Thus, they will double their birth weight by seven days and triple it by twenty-one days (males gaining even faster). Large quantities of breast milk are needed, and this is stressful for the lactating mother. If a supplemental food source (e.g. milk replacer) can be provided by three weeks of age, it will lessen the need for milk production and may shorten the time to weaning.

I would suggest calling the vet and getting a supplement if you are interested in feeding each one separately with a bottle.

Meijer, petsmart, and Walmart sell a milk replacement dry that will have to be mixed about 10 dollars. I am not sure if the vet has one that is superior to the ones sold in the stores. You may want to call and ask.
