How do I teach my 3-4 week old kitten to bury poop in the litter box?

Question

We found a very young kitten(3 to 4 weeks old) and she does use the litter box (you can see she is a beginner at this) but does not or can not bury the poo, so how do I show her how to bury it ??? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Beux may still need some assistance in the litter department so you may need to bring him there throughout the day to encourage him to use it. Using a scoop to bury any stools and to "dig" in the litter like a mother would show him how may also help teach him how to bury it. Very young kittens may also still need stimulation to go, and using a warm wet washcloth on his bottom while in the litter box may stimulate him to get going.
