How much food does a 2 month kitten eat?

I'm reading so much conflicting information from one 100g pouch x 3 a day to 60g of food each feeding. I won't be feeding them dry food.

As much as they want really. Little and often when they are that age.

I wouldn't put a full pouch out at a time. Any reason you arent giving dry?

Plump82 · 28/08/2019 20:21

I'm not 100% decided on dry but my old cat had a terrible time on dry plus one of the kittens is a boy and I know they can be more susceptible to crystals in urine.

I leave dry out all day and at that age gave small amounts of wet food 3 or 4 times a day. I have 2 boys. Make sure any food you give has a high meat content and preferably no cereals/grains

As much wet as they want, you can’t over feed a kitten, the amount they sometimes need to pack away is amazing.

Mine ate 3-400g a day. He had a special miaow he hasn’t used since kitten hood.

We called it “bowl empty”

Mine ( both boys) are 10 weeks and have unlimited access to Royal Canin kitten biscuits (plenty of water )and 1pouch shared between them ( separate bowls) 4 times a day this is on the recommendation on both the RSPCA and my cousin who's a qualified Vet. Whatever isn't eaten is removed at next meal and fresh supplied. Some days they eat it all others they don't....I guess like human babies they go through growth spurts.

How much is yours eating currently and does he clear the bowl every time?

I don't think royal canin is a particularly good brand as it tends to have cereals which means less meat
