That's not necessarily a problem yet, Leep, but how are they otherwise? Is their mum with them? If not are you feeding them kitten replacement milk? Keeping them warm? How do they seem? Still with their umbilical cords and eyes and ears closed? Are you stimulating them with a warm, damp washcloth rubbed gently in a circular direction over their little bottoms, before and after feeding?

I dont Know how old found them at work in a chair.I have been feeding them replacement milk an they both seem fine.Oddly enough the one that hasnt had a bowel movement is eating well an seems to be trying to open one eye.She also likes to be rub on her chest.Other wise they seem to be doing fine.

Then just keep an eye on her and a vet visit for a check-up is always a good idea. This is a question we get a lot -- I added two tags to your post (in pink, top right hand corner); if you click on these, you can read some of the other threads from anxious kitten-owners whose babies haven't pooped yet either, but we usually get poop :)
If you have any other questions, just ask, we have a lot of very experienced and knowledgeable kitty foster mums and dads on TDK and I know they'll be happy to help.

Well, I don't know if this constitutes as "bathing" since I did not fully immerse the baby in the water, but I ran warm water from his little waist on down. It helped him to pee and poo, and then I towel dryed him, and used the hair dryer on him briefly. He was all nicely warm and dry when I put him back in his box with the heating pad.
