For their first few months of life, baby tigers drink only milk. Their mothers produce a rich, creamy milk that contains just the right nutrients for their growing bodies. In the wild, baby tigers typically nurse from their mothers for up to 6 months, but in captivity they may nurse for up to 9 months.
Meat
As baby tigers grow older, they begin to eat meat. Their mothers will start regurgitating meat for them to eat, usually starting at around 3-4 months of age. Initially, the meat will be small pieces, but as they get older they will be able to eat larger chunks. By the time they are about a year old, baby tigers will be eating meat exclusively.
Variety of meats
In the wild, baby tigers will eat a variety of meats, including deer, antelope, buffalo, and wild boar. In captivity, they are typically fed a diet of beef, venison, or chicken, but their diet may also include other types of meat, such as horse meat, pork, and lamb.
Bones
Bones are an important part of a baby tiger's diet. They help to provide calcium and other minerals that are essential for growth and development. Baby tigers will gnaw on bones until they are completely broken down and consumed.
Water
Water is also an important part of a baby tiger's diet. They should have access to fresh water at all times.
