Can my 3-week-old foster kitten eat wet food if she bites the bottle?

Good day. My Fiber is around 3 week old now. Can I give her wet food because she keeps biting the bottle nipple. She's a foster kitten. Please help. Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 14 days old | 7.9 lbs

Fiber is so cute! You can try weaning her onto wet food. To help her wean and to get used to dry food, I would mix wet kitten food with kitten formula such as KMR to make a mush the consistency of oatmeal. Over the next two weeks, gradually increase the amount of wet kitten food and decrease the amount of water and KMR you use until she is eating the wet kitten food only. You can also do this with dry kitten food, only soak the dry kitten food in water first before mixing it with the kitten formula.
