My foster kittens are 6 weeks old today. For the past two weeks I have been attempting to get them to start eating on their own with absolutely no luck. The "oldest" male (born first in the litter) will sniff at the food and will lick it a little bit or maybe take one tiny bite before he goes to nurse on momma. The other two kittens won't even sniff it. I've tried the KMR, soft food, pouched food, dried food and moistened dried food. I would think at 6 weeks old that they'd at least be trying it!
Also, I've been trying to get them to use the litter box. The little female will occasionally use it when I put her in it, but the boys just want to eat the litter or they jump out immediately.
Any suggestions on what I can do with either issue?
