what age can i start introducing dry food to the kittens
Normally, the kitten weaning process begins at about four weeks of age. âWith mom, theyâll start to try to eat her food, and sheâll push them away from her,â says Benson. But if youâre weaning a kitten that has been orphaned, you can start a little earlier, between three and four weeks. Supplement with formula if the kitten is not taking to the new food, to make sure it gets enough calories. 2  Weeks 5-6: The weaning kittens should start to nibble on the kibble, slightly moistened with water. 3  Weeks 6-7: By now, the kitten weaning process is complete, and they should be eating all solid food by week seven.
