all they want to eat is the kmr milk, tuna in chunks and cheese. i'm not giving them any roast beef or turkey anymore. one of the kittens eats some dry food while another one does not eat at all. they have not been eating for the last 2 days. should i just starve them for another day?

nope i didnt do that, i tried few different wet flavors
liek chicken, shrimp, tuna yet they dont eat any of them.
they eat regular human tuna but i'm worried about sodium levels in the regular tuna.

Get a little chicken or turkey meat human baby food and warm it. Spoon a little over the top of a canned kitten food on a flat plate, not in a bowl. I haven't met a kitten yet that will refuse baby food.

Make certain to READ the label on the baby food so that you only get only MEAT baby food, not the kind with meat and veggies which may contain onion or onion powder. Cats do not tolerate onion well and ingesting it even in small amounts can cause a serious health condition called Heinz Body Anemia.

If they dont want dry I wouldnt push them... wet is far better for their health
