Ok so Hacks is 9 weeks old. Savannahs kittens are all doing well most of them are eating and stuff on their own except hacks. Hacks still wont eat she drinks but she still only nurses, she is now smaller and thinner than her siblings. she is healthy but i cannot get her to eat any solid food. I have tryed soft food softening kitten kibble and everything. lastnite I started giving her cat sure in hopes of making her hungryer and hope that then she will start eating on her own, cause i am worried Savannah is running out of milk cause she only nurses them for a few minuts at a time. any one else have any ideas what to do with this stubborn kitten???

Have you tried the baby food on your finger trick? Just chicken in the babyfood isle and warm it a little. Sometimes I put a little bit on their lips and they will lick it off. That is usually enough to do the trick

I had good luck with Royal Canin baby cat formula when weaning my litter of foster kittens. Have you tried that?

I have a couple who are struggling more to wean than the others but they eat the kitten food--they just eat less and nurse more. My babies didnt' like when I soaked dry food in water--they preferred wet or just dry. Try wiping a bit of wet on their noses and see if they lick it off.
