Squeaky's kittens turned 4 weeks old yesterday. They are playful and vocal, all over 1 pound (they outgrew the Weight Watchers food scale at just under 3 weeks!) and have figured out how to climb out of their little nest and walk around.
I tried putting out some canned kitten food (Royal Canin Babycat, same food I fed my other kittens when they were tiny) and they aren't really interested at all. One of them licked a little bit off my finger, but Mom ate most of it herself! Also tried mushy dry kitten chow and they weren't too interested in that either. I know they are still nursing off mom.
Am I doing something wrong? Will they eventually start eating it? I am a nervous grandma, haha, just want to make sure I am doing right by them
Any suggestions much appreciated!

Sometimes I'll help the matter along, rub a little on their paws or along their mouth so they'll get a taste, but they usually figure it out on their own.
