My 4-week-old kittens refuse to eat their wet food. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | 1 year old

The kittens are 29 days I guess they are old enough to eat so I soaked kittens food till it became mushy but they didn’t want to eat I made them watch their mummy eating but they still don’t eat what should I do ??

Don't worry. They are still young to take to food. It is great to try but sometimes can take a week or 2 longer for them to fully understand and thrive solely on kitten food. sinxe they were not interested it is best to skip a day or two and try again then. They all learn at different rates so keep trying but give them a break for a few days if they are not interested
