Hey, well the kittens are 4 weeks, almost 5 and Storms still stimulating them to go to the washroom. I havent seen anything to indacate that there going in the nest, and I have a small litterbox by the nest that they play in but dont use. I was just wondering, do they only start to go to the washroom on there own when they start eating food/drinking water? Or is this not normal? There really active and run around all over the room (there in my room with a baby gate blocking the doorway so they dont get out) there just not going to the washroom on there own *bites lip*

'My' kittens didn't start using the litter until they started eating food, except for Baker he jumped in and peed right away.
Have you tried offering them food yet?

Since I had my foster mom and kittens in one room....the kittens watched mom while she ate and drank and I do recall that they started trying her food around 5 weeks of age.
