The kittens won't stay in the box

They have a mom and they don't know how to eat. It's illegal in my country to separate kittens younger than 8 weeks from their mom. Here we don't have shelters for cats. I live in Romania. There are only shelters for dogs.

@2ndchances24 This isn't a problem because people like kittens. I will search for owners for them, but now they aren't weaned and they eat only milk. So if I give them now to new owners they will have to receive milk. I am not sure if someone wants that. They will stay with their mom and when they eat solid food they will go to their new homes. I found this: Queens usually begin weaning kittens when they're 6-9 weeks of age, which coincides with the eruption of the kittens' deciduous teeth. Some queens, especially those with small litters, may delay weaning. Typically, weaning takes 4 to 6 weeks. These ones are 5 weeks old.

@dya80dya That is sad, you have rules & laws like that & no shelters for cats, so what do you do with them?

@dya80dya She must have enough milk then.

She doesn't know how to teach them. I tried to make them eat, but she stole their food. And they only want to eat milk and aren't interested in eating solid food. I think they are still too young.

She will, but the sooner you can get them to eat the sooner she'll wean them, their old enough to wean.

@dya80dya It's quite normal for kittens to continue nursing exclusively at this age. They typically start showing interest in solid food around 4-6 weeks old, but some may take a little longer. As long as they're healthy, gaining weight, and active, they should be fine. You can try offering them some wet kitten food mixed with a bit of kitten milk replacer to see if they show any interest, but don't worry if they're not quite ready yet. They'll get there!

They are still nursing and aren't interested in food. I wonder if this is normal. They are very playful, but they only eat their mom's milk.

I am trying to enjoy them because later I have to find new owners for them. And I have to spay their mom.

Yes. But they are not interested in food at all. They only want their mom's milk.

@dya80dya Poor Mom, they are spoiled babies.

Thank you. They are very active and playful.
