My boyfriend found a baby kitten, maybe only 3-4 weeks old, mamma left him alone 🥺 we got some formula and a bottle, my only issue is the kitten chews off every nipple.. and I'm not quite sure what to do. Anyone have any advice? Or ideas on what I can do?

I hope this gives you some help.
It mentions if a kitten is biting and chewing the nipple it is time to start weening it off the bottle. It mentions how to do so aswell.

I agree. A kitten who chews the nipples off already has baby teeth and is 4-5 weeks old and capable of learning to eat from a flat plate or small dish. Give soft, pate-style kitten food 4-6 times daily, leave dry kitten chow out 24/7, and give formula in a dish now.

It’s also time to introduce a litter box. Here are helpful videos for both weaning to soft food and litter box training:



Please keep us posted as to how things go, and we’d love to see a picture of your new kitten!

Thank you so much for the feedback.. I actually did put some formula in a little dish and he has been doing great at drinking it out of it ☺ I will look over the videos you all sent tonight.. thank you again!! Here are a few pictures of him 😁
