They are all so cute! If the stool is firm and otherwise normal, the color could be a natural variation, but it can also indicate a bacterial infection. If the stool is loose (like diarrhea), then I would suspect there could be a bacterial infection. To be safe, I would take Angel and kittens into the vet now for a check up. Bring a stool sample for the vet to examine. Best of luck.

The color I'm not worried about, but the less active part I am. Newborn kittens are very fragile, so I would have her seen by a vet immediately. Take her mother and siblings with her to the appointment. Best of luck.

The poop could be due to a sudden change in diet, but it could also be due to intestinal worms, which are common in kittens. Make sure Tobi is up to date on his deworming treatments, and have him seen by a vet if these poops continue.

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely normal and just due to their current diet. Keep an eye on their feces and have your kitties evaluated by your veterinarian if you notive blood at any point as that would be concerning. However, their current stools are likely fine. Have a good day!

This isn't normal and it can be a sign of overfeeding or a lack of production of bile. Even though they seem normal, you should still have them checked out by a vet to be safe. I'd take them into a vet this weekend for a health check. I hope this helps.
