Oh my gosh, so much cuteness in one photo! At 11 weeks, it's time for all of these little guys to have had their first kitten vaccines as well as deworming. The first thing to do is to make sure that there's not a medial reason why Bubbles won't eat anything other than his mother's milk, and your vet can do that. If he's healthy, you're going to have to strictly separate the kittens from the mom. Heat up the wet food a bit in the microwave until it's warm, or soak the kibble in warm water to entice him to eat. Eventually he will get the hang of it once mom in inaccessible.
