So about a week ago I rescued four abandoned kittens from my grandma’s backyard. I took them to the vet and they told me the babies are only four weeks old. With the approval of the vet, I’ve been feeding them the royal canin kitten food and they go absolutely nuts over it! I was giving them the blue buffalo kitten food before I switched, but decided to go with a healthier option for them. They always ate the blue buffalo just fine.. they never stuck their whole face into and actually paced themselves while eating. Yesterday when I came home from work, the kittens came to greet me and their faces were drenched in kitten food... it literally looks like we pulled them out of a dirty sewer. I watched them eat later that day and they not only stick their entire faces into the food, but their front paws as well! So now the fur on their faces, chest, legs, and paws are crusting over and it looks painful for them. I just gave them a bath and they are all clean now as I am writing this, but I wanted to see if there is a way to prevent them from throwing their whole bodies into the food bowl to avoid getting so dirty again. I tried using a smaller bowl last night and that didn’t work either... if anyone has some suggestions please let me know!!
Edit: grammar and clarity
