Litterbox problems

Squeeky is almost 5wks old...
He doesnt have much interest in food, although he will eat it when I dab it on him, nor does he show much interest in the litterbox..
Squiggles has one of those large dome litterboxes with the lids..
And Im pretty sure Squeeky will not be able to get into it. I have tried putting a smaller one by the bed, so that he can atleast play in it..Problem is Squiggles plays in it instead, to the point no litter is INSIDE OF IT..
So then I tried to put the smaller one, inplace of where Squiggles is, thinking if I just switched hers , she would go in it, being that its in the same place...
Nope, same thing, she plays in it, and goes beside of the litterbox..

So I dont know whatelse to do, Can I build a step stool to the big one for Squeeky when he is ready??

If Squiggles isnt gonna let litter stay INSIDE of the little box, i dont know what else to try

I dont have any litter box advice for you but I must say AWWWWW HE'S SO CUTE!!! He looks just like my Nightcrawler (RIP) when he was a tiny kitten.

I used a xerox box for my mom cat as her litterbox and also used feline pine litter...amazingly enough, the kittens actually climbed into the xerox box and copied mom. The great thing about the xerox box was that mom couldn't push out all the litter.

Try to get him to follow mom's lead. He will use it if mom does and eat what mom eats. That is something to try. No clue if it will work but it is a try.

My Festus loves to roll in a clean litterbox, too. And my outside cat Will (in my avatar) rolls in the dust on the stone driveway. I think you should get Skittles another litterbox to roll in. Take the smaller one, and put one of Squiggles poos in it, from out of her litterbox. Then she and Squeeky will understand that it is for pottying!

He is awful cute!

Do you think if I take Skittles litter boy and give it to Baby Brat (pomarania puppy ) And give Skittles her new one I have yet to fill that maybe Baby will learn to poop in it. Baby is pee peeing on the puppy pads but wont poop. SHe is so small she gets lost in the snow are drown in the rain

Thanks everyone, I will try to use the ideas that were posted..My other problem is squeeky hates me

Everytime I go near him he takes off...Faster then his momma every ran..
Sometimes I can pet, But still cant pick him up, and lately he doesnt even want petted..

Im worried he is gonna be a spoiled momma's boy..Ive always been right beside him so its not like he should be scared of me, Its like he acts like my hands are godzilla..
He has found great interest in toys, maybe too much interest..
No aggression at all though, so maybe I should just be happy with that

You got it right. To him you are a giant and he is becoming more aware of his surroundings. Hold and pet mom. Maybe him seeing that she trusts you he will be more comfortable.
