Teaching a 4 week to 5 week old kitten to eat solid food - found a kitten - stabilizing them

Edited to add: ALWAYS make sure the kitten is warm before trying to feed.
And after this video was taken I rubbed him with kleenex to see if he needed to pee in case he didn't know how to on his own yet. He peed for ages while I rubbed him with kleenex. Always check at this age to make sure they can pee on their own!
This little guy was found on a walking path by kids. This is an example of how I introduce food to kittens that are found at an age where they have teeth but have never eaten solid food. And these are the things I do to help stabilize and adjust kittens to being away from their mom after they are found and taken into rescue.

    One thing I've noticed about kittens of that age; they ALWAYS sound like you are being horrible to them! If there noises could be translated directly to English, it would probably say "oh, woe is me!"

    getting them to urinate and poop before they are weaned is important. always stroke with a cotton piece or tissue the privates so they pee and poop. so important. you can also use a slurry of milk and food mix so they get enough liquid. many cats die from well meaning first time ppl that have no idea how to care for a baby kitten. glad to see there are videos to help out. i have two fosters at the moment. they are just 3 weeks. still no teeth but looking at things and playing a bit. i will be weaning later about two weeks, slowly but let them go at their own pace.

    I know it's probably too late but you could make slurry for her. Its basically just kitten formula mixed with wet kitten food. They mostly really enjoy this. As time goes on you can add more and more wet cat food until they're perfectly comfortable eating just the wet kitten food. Then you can start adding some dry cat food into the wet to make sure they won't get diarrhea. Hope it helped, bye!

    You can get a little kitchen scale and weigh him every day to make sure he is gaining weight. If he's eating and drinking well and doesn't have diarrhea then he should be alright. Some are just smaller and slower to learn then others. I like to leave dry food out all the time and canned food about 5 or 6 times a day until they get the hang of just eating dry. And you can syringe water in if you feel like he isn't drinking on his own. If he gets diarrhea they can go down hill fast so he will need some meds for that. You can ask a rescue group or vet for help if that happens. Good luck!

    My kittens are 6 weeks and two days. I have been bottle feeding them since they were two weeks exactly. They refuse to eat solid food and insist on the bottle, going long after they are hungry without eating if I don’t give them a bottle. Luckily it is a blended slurry of milk and meat so they are staying healthy but I WANT THEM TO WEAN! I’ve tried all the tricks from Hannah Shaw (Kitten Lady) to frick and frack who have an opinion on the subject but nothing works 😩 it cost me a $3k all expense paid vaca (that I desperately need) because no one would foster them for a week if not weaned. I have no idea what it’s going to take.

    I have a question as I'm taking care a 4 week old kitten too. How did you get them to cover their own poop and pee in the litter? If they're not supposed to do so now at what age are they supposed to do it

    so you would see that they hide somewhere to poop usually, or you look at signs that they are about to poop. then gently place them in the litter box. you could maybe give them a treat after, if that doesnt work just regularily put them in the litter box typically after a meal; and for covering their poop, thats what kittens like to do with litter but if a kitten doesnt do that then its finee its a personality i guess

    @@sabrinemussa2342 I see thanks for the help I appreciate it, I rescued 3 1 month kittens and I already taught them to go to the litter box and I'm slowly learning to do things, it's just that one of them does cover their poop but the other 2 dig the sides of the box or outside of the litter box, I thought maybe it was due to the box size or litter so I changed it all, different litters box sizes and those 2 still do the same, also one of them always tries to pee on those tunnel toys that they can play with so I had to get rid of them, do you know what that means?

    @@jun-e3855 kittens like to hide somewhere were they can pee / poop without anybody watching. If theres other kittens or people in the house watching the kitten pee it might make them embarrased and want to dash somewhere else where nobody is watching. But if thats not the reason. It might be that they cant get to the litter box in time so try to assist the kitten to the litter box and it takes time for kittens. Some kittens are quick with it but some arent. it could be a urination problem but its most likely not. But it should be easy going, it just takes time. And thank youu for rescuing kittens I also did the same :)

    My mom and I are currently taking care of a couple farm kittens whose momma disappeared when they were about 2 weeks old. We took care of bathroom needs for a week, bottle fed for two, and now thet are using the litter, playing with each other, and one of them is eating hard food softened with some water and canned food, but the other refuses to eat anything but kitten milk replacer. We've offered her wet food, wet food mixed with milk in a bottle, the same dry food/water/wet food mixture we give the other one, but no dice. I've even pushed a piece of food into her mouth and she chews and swallows but doesn't seem interested in it at all. We have to get these babies eating food in the next couple weeks because my mom has to go back to work at the school and I have to go back to college. Any ideas?

    Kittens learn at their own pace but he should get the hang of it soon. "Kitten Lady" on KZread has a couple good videos on transitioning harder kittens.

    My kitten is on the bottle. I'm trying to figure out how to ween her. I've had her since she was three weeks, she'll be five weeks tomorrow. She definitely bites down now that her little molars are growing in.

    I'm about to start my three feral kittens. They have tiny teeth. I started on Fancy Feast chicken last night though a syringe. I'm going to let them have at it this afternoon. I will still give formula intermittently. The female has a little mouth ulcer. Should I just keep her on formula for now?
