We just brought our new baby home yesterday and she is 8 weeks old (yes, i know very young but this was when breeder said she was ready). They had her eating diamond kitten hard food and they were giving her science diet wet food. We have both here for her and she absolutely loves her wet food and would eat a whole can if we let her. My question is how much dry food should she be eating? the bag says 1 and 1/2 to 1 and 3/4 a cup a day for her age but she barely eats half a cup and we leave it out all day and put her by her bowl multiple times to prompt her to eat. We have tried mixing the wet with the dry and she will eat a couple pieces of dry but mostly eat around it to get to the wet chunks! I'm just worried she's not eating enough to get enough nutrients! Any help is much appreciated!

Where are you?
Obviously, you know that 8 weeks of age is too young for optimal rehoming.
If your kitten is eating the wet food you are giving her, please give her as much as she pleases.
My boy would not eat the dry food the breeder said he was eating, only the raw diet.
We gave the dry food she provided to our dog and kept him on raw.
Listen to your kitty.
Also, you are now her Mom.
It is up to you to socialize her. She was removed from her litter WAY too soon.
Expect behavioural issues.
I think that dietary issues are the least of your concerns.
I am certain that others on this forum will soon give your advice.
Please post pictures. These are compulsory to this forum! ;^)

1/2 to 1 pouch 4 times a day and a bowl of biscuits down ....you can up the wet if needed but it will have guidelines on the packs.

Thank you so much for your responses! I will be trying out all this advice!
