She isnt taking the bottle so far im hand guiding her to a nipple to give her an advantage, I'm considering using a latex glove as a teat is that ok?

The issue is whether she is able to suckle. If she is not, or she is not getting enough milk to grow, she may not make it without you supplementing her. This is best and most easily accomplished using a tiny syringe or dropper, as stated in an earlier post.

It's most important that she be receiving nutrition. Is she? Has she gained any weight yet?

Can you post pictures of the kittens please?

Please do use the syringe. She is very small and needs your immediate intervention.

That's a shame. Unfortunately, it likely starved to death.
With that smalls, its always a way uphill. many dont makes it even with  first rate help.   Why it died, we cant know. Probably it was doomed anyway, with littermates so big and healthy its visible there was some real problem.

 But this is true, a so so help didnt gave it no real chance.

Just started what seems to be either poorly carrying them or biting them.

Mom is feeling very agitated with something and i don't know what it is
Which room is the nest in? High traffic area? It looks bright. Maybe she'd like a sheet over the nest, or maybe she'd prefer to to be in a closet with the door ajar.

She more than likely is grieving the loss of one of her kittens.  She still should be taking care of the other kittens.  Is she tending to them?

She needs to be more comfortable in her nest. She doesn't feel safe for some reason.

What can you do to make her best more like the litter box?

Take the litter out and let her stay in the box. Put the litter in another container for her.
