Are they eating enough?
I've changed the diet of my kittens (6 months old) over to Animonda Carny and Smilla (Macs and Petnatur in the post ) and I just wanted to check whether they are eating enough.

Basil (big kitten at 4kg already!) goes through one 400g can of Smilla or AC a day

Sybil (little girl at just over 2kg) probably only goes through half a 400g can a day

Does it sound like they're doing alright?

SOunds okay - feeding recommendations are just that 'recommendations' - and they are still kittens - just feed them when they are hungry.

Best to watch them to make sure they don't nick each other's food!! I have to put Jumpy's wet food out first, and we've had to leave 2 bowls of dry food down throughout the day instead of one, as Jumpy is a much faster eater than Treacle and will hog the bowl for himself if allowed!!

Good quality food should mean they need alot less compared with supermarket brands

Ha ha - yes, basil is very greedy! Even if I feed him first, he'll go for sybil's as well! Works out ok feeding them both at the same time - he's distracted while she eats and Sybil's always had her fill before basil'd finished gobbling his whole bowl!
