You can do it babies! Sometimes when one of them has figured it out, bringing the siblings around the plate can encourage competitive eating

The only one who kept eating without constant encouragement was Naboris, and Rudania didn’t quite get it yet, but I’ll try again in a couple hours.

Also it’s normal for kittens to lose a little weight during weaning especially if mom is cutting them off (or they don’t have a mom), so don’t panic right away as long as you see them making strides at learning. Hunger & instinct are powerful motivators!

It’s a process until their little carnivore brain clicks over, they’ll get the hang of it pretty quick especially when they get a little hungry without mom’s constant top offs.
