However, if that is not available, you can use replacement milk. If the baby kitten is very hungry you can give one tablespoon of glucose by adding it to boiling water. Another easy option is to give the strained water of boiled rice as it has starch(energy) and is non-laxative, which is totally safe for the kitten.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 align=\"justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A2_Manage_Your_Time\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u2022 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><strong>Manage Your Time<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\">Younger the kitten, the higher is the metabolism.
