CMB - Munchalot explains this in this part of their post which was mentioned earlier. I quoted the relevant part for you below

Kitten milk has reduced lactose, which makes it more digestible. |

Ok thanks cypher
! I think I'll stick to warm water or plain oats so it doesn't get over complicated. A huge cartoon of lactomilk is a bit unnecessary for me as a treat occasionally for one hammy.
EDIT: Wow in the time it took for me to write that, you two already cleared up the issue on lactose
