How often should my runt kitten eat?

I have a runt kitten as well, and I just fed him every 4 hours, because you dont want to over feed runts.Over the next week I would do it every 5 hours, and so on and so on until it can feed itself.

week 1-every 3 hours

2-every 4 hours

3- every 5 hours

It's a full time job. I would feed him no more than 4 hours a part and maybe every 3 hours. All newborn kittens need to be feed at least every 3 to 4 hours. Good luck.

Here is a link to information from a rescue group that knows their stuff - it's got feeding guidelines based on age. Look at the link called "feeding orphan kittens".

every 2 hours, only about an ounce or less tho. then gradually feed it less often.
