My kitten has a fast bug on its fur and isn't pooping. Is this normal?

Question

hello, I’ve seen something moving fast on my kitten’s fur , I’ve tried to catch it but I couldn’t because it moves so fast, I’ve wanted to know what it could be? because I know that fleas move in jumping not walking. another question should I see any stool at this age? because I do not see urine or poop (his mother licks his genitals all the time) thank you.

Without an image it would be hard to say what you are seeing. It could be a parasite, bug, etc crawling around. Checking the environment for anything similar may alert you to this, and you can use a flea comb and Dawn dish soap to kill any fleas on kittens that young. If mom is taking care of the kittens, she is likely cleaning/stimulating your kitten to go potty, however 4-5 weeks is around the age they should start showing interest in the litter box and start eating solid food so more stool may appear, and the momma cat may be taking him to a litter box to go potty as well. You can watch to see if this is the case.
