almost 6 weeks old kittens not eating food

[melismarie77]

I can't get any of the 3 kittens who will be 6 weeks old in 2 days to try food. They flat out refuse to even go near the food. One has started peeing in the litter box only if you place her in it. What can I do to begin to wean them from their mama?

What are you feeding the kittens? Is it mushy? Have you tried feeding them from your finger?

Do they have good possibilities to see the momma eating?   Often they dont need to be learned by humans, they follow mommas example.

Are their plates comfortably shallow?

The mamma is a beatutiful grey, as it seems from your little photo.  Had we seen the photos of momma and kittens earlier?  If not, I would like to see them.

Im fond of gray cats!
