    My 8 week old has been in his new home for 2 days now but ue has not pooped. I got him along with his sister (who has no problems and has pooped 3x). He is eating and weeing fine and they both us the litter tray. They are on dry food (a good one with 70% meat). They came from a dirty home and there were 12 other kittens there. They have both settled really quick and are really calm. Should I be concerned or give him a few more days…

    I would get him some wet food, and put a few drops of olive oil in it each time you feed him. The oil won’t hurt the other kittens either. At 8 weeks, he should be using the litter box. Another thing you may want to do for a little while, is switch over to plain, clay, unscented non clumping litter as sometimes kittens eat it and there is the danger of an intestinal blockage. I would limit the dry food until he poops, as it sucks the water from their bodies even though it’s convenient to feed. You could also get some goat’s milk and mix into his food also, it’s full of probiotics and good for their gut.

    I’m having the same issue with my kitten. I’ll try to keep her on wet food and see what happens. She pees just fine, and is very energetic, she just hasn’t pooed. Hang in there OP, let us know how it turns out!
