Some moron left a box of kittens (app. 6weeks based on size). The kittens bbite off nipples on bottles so that led me to believe they are weaned. I tried mixing kmr with kitten food and letting it soften and they want no part of it. They lapped up a little of the liquid but won't eat the mush. Is it they are eating a different brand or what? They drink water from the dish and use the litterbox but not eating will make them go downhill fast. What can I do to help these babies?

Try canned food. Much tastier than mushy kibble. And first try it without the formula. . .I've noticed that a lot of kittens who were nursed by their mother and not formula-fed don't like the taste of formula. I usually use Fancy Feast Kitten turkey flavor for babies that age.

You could also try a little raw beef mince, or a little cooked white fish.

If they are 6 weeks old their eye colour will be changing from blue and is probably quite muddy at present.
