About Pregnant and Nursing Queens

Caring for pregnant and nursing queens can be a very special experience. They need the best nutrition possible, kitten food, in increased amounts to produce healthy kittens and plenty of milk for them. It is important to know the stages of birth to recognize and address any problems. Similarly, knowing about, watching for and addressing any issues that may occur in the queen or kittens during nursing is important. Under the Pregnant and Nursing Queen Topic, we cover their special needs for space, supplies, pre-birth care, the birth process, post-delivery of kittens and the problems you should be aware of.
