I’ve rescued 2 kittens ar 4 days old. Been feeding them KMR around 2-3hours since. Now 4 weeks, how often should I feed them, when to start introducing more and what should their potty habits be?

Congratulations on getting them this far!

While I’ve never raised kittens this young, lots of people have posted questions about weaning- click the pink tag, ‘weaning’. I would start spacing out the feedings gradually

The Messybeast site is a good one http://www.messybeast.com/handrear.htm

Skyron, an experienced foster mum, has previously posted,

“I start introducing potty training at 4 weeks old. The process takes about 2 weeks. I start them off just by associating eliminating with the litterbox – stimulating them in a litterbox, then gradually i do digging motions with their feet before starting the stimulation, etc”
