Just brought home a 2.5-3" TSN

wow pretty cool tsn

How quick do they usually grow when so small?

 

[sbrodacz]

Yanbbrox, you said beefheart mix. What's the mix consist of?

 

[~ocean]

you can make your own beef heart mix with veggies too...

 

[sbrodacz]

I went to peco and petsmart. Neither had beefheart. I haven't seen the TSN eat, but he has a pretty big belly for such a little guy, I'm assuming he had to have eaten something?

 

[sbrodacz]

I got some beef heart the other day, but he doesn't seem to want to eat it.

Try earthworms. My RTC would devour them at that size. As for his tummy, yeah, I'd say he's been eating pretty well. Have you tried calling the place you got him and asking what they fed him?

First of all, I'm man enough to admit that I nearly melted when I saw that tiny TSN. Too cute for words. But to address your feeding question, you can never go wrong with black worms for a baby cat and he'll probably happily gobble down chopped earth worms and sinking carnivore pellets to boot.

I have black worms, but have been hesitant to feed them to him at such a young age. I do not want to make it more difficult to get him to eat other things. I'll have to try some earth worms. I cannot call the place I got him from. I bought him the next morning from when he arrived.

I fed earthworms and Hikari sinking carnivore. When he was really tiny, I had to cut the pellets in half (LOL it's crazy to think of me doing that now, when he's the size he is). Anyway, don't worry about him moving on to other foods. I have no problems feeding fish filets, squid, shrimp, Massivore, Aqua-Stable, Algae Wafers, etc... He eats everything -- fear not!
