Because Suga is so young it's important that he eats every 2-3 hours - he should either be nursing from his mother or you should be bottle feeding him with a neonatal kitten formula, such as KMR. You can stimulate him to urinate and defecate (poop) using a warm wash cloth and gently cleaning around his anus - this is what the mother cat does when she licks her kittens. If he is not eating or defecating at all and you truly think he has a fever, he needs to be seen by your veterinarian right away. Kittens can become dehydrated, weak, and succumb to infections very quickly. Good luck and I hope Suga gets better soon!
