always hungry?

He's making up for lost time. Don't give in to his demands though! Make a schedule of 4 feedings a day for them. They're small and still need full sized meals often. But stick to the schedule. When he's demanding and you cave in, he's going to continue this into adulthood. You don't want that. Feel free to supplement his diet with KMR (see below) in between feedings. This will help his little hunger pangs.

How old are they now? By the time they are 6 months old they can be dropped to 3 full sized meals a day.

Do you have a pet specialty store to see what kitten food they sell? Try that. Give milk supplements of KMR - they need milk still. If you can find the premixed cans instead of powder, much better. The powder is kind of foul.

You can also consider making their food instead of pet food. Check the useful pet links sticky in the main section http://www.twitchinkitten.com/announcements.php?aid=4 it has some good links about pet food.

Amazon.com has some good books on preparing your own food and it really isnt' much more expensive than buying prepared for pets only. Just make sure you get a good supplement for the necessary vitamins and taruine. Cats will die without taurine.

Get a good clumping litter too. It's much less dusty and will make cleanup for you easier!

I'll dig around for more on food for you.
