Hes about 6 weeks old and will not eat even canned food. How can I get him to eat?

He may be too weak to eat or not fully weaned.  Get some Kitten Milk Replacer from the pet store (KMR) and some canned kitten food.  Also, get a syringe or two or a kitten baby bottle.  You'll need to syringe feed him. Mix the KMR into some of the canned food til it's about he consistency of a smoothie. 

Here's an article and a good website for help:  http://www.thecatsite.com/a/hand-rearing-kittens
