Yes, kittens need to eat very frequently. Here is a helpful link: https://www.petcoach.co/article/care-feeding-of-queens-kittens/ If one kitten is not eating, it may be sick and I recommend to have it examined today. Young kittens do not have the reserves of adults and need aggressive, early intervention. Best of luck.
