Kittens cannot maintain their body heat well so they need to be in a warm room and they need to be snuggled up together or with mum.

Non-feeding or cold kittens go downhill really fast, so you need to act quickly to save them.
hi i dont think you read the post properly...the kitten could not feed his tongue was stuck to the roof of his mouth. i made him a vets appointment at soon i saw it, but he died before i could get him there.
mum had pushed him out of the bed which is when i took over warming him and trying to feed him with kitten formula, i tried everything i could.
i feel a bit upset at your post actually its like you are saying i could have done more to save him.like it was my fault.
