Hi
Kittens can start to be fed solids at 3 weeks.
Liquidise some kitten wet food, and a little of the kitten milk substitute (NOT cows milk) with some warm water. Put some of this on their paws, and a drop in their mouth.
Repeat this as often as you can, and you will find that all of a sudden they will be trying to bite your fingers! This is the time to put a small amount on a saucer and dip their nose in it. It may take a day or two, but they will soon be eating the ‘slop’ redily. Keep the slop going for about a week as they may not chew the chunks and could get food stuck in their mouth.
When kittens go to the toilet, especially number twos, they will meow ALOT and sound like they are really hurting. Well in truth they are! Little bottoms can sometimes have quite big loads to expell, but once they recognise their own signs of when they need to go, then they will get quieter.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
Michele
