Where are they? If they are in an enclosed room with a litter box, you may not see the poop because it's small and seems to come out at any time, and anywhere they are at the time.
At almost 6 weeks old, they are still nursing. Yes, they are "experimenting" with food, but they are still getting mother's milk so that makes things a bit runny and momma may still be taking care of that when she cleans them.
Are you wetting down the food so they can chew it better? If not, they may just be crunching it because they are teething, they may not actually be eating it.
The poop will come soon. Believe me, I recently had a barn cat litter living in my bathroom and they went from not doing anything to poop machines in a matter of days. It took them a while to figured out what the litter box was for. They could get in it, because they napped in it, but pooped in the other corner. Guess they didn't want to soil their napping place?
I would love to see pics...I love kitten pictures!!
