Normally, the kitten weaning process begins at about four weeks of age. âWith mom, theyâll start to try to eat her food, and sheâll push them away from her,â says Benson. But if youâre weaning a kitten that has been orphaned, you can start a little earlier, between three and four weeks. Supplement with formula if the kitten is not taking to the new food, to make sure it gets enough calories. 2  Weeks 5-6: The weaning kittens should start to nibble on the kibble, slightly moistened with water. 3  Weeks 6-7: By now, the kitten weaning process is complete, and they should be eating all solid food by week seven.
How to wean kittens. Kittens can usually be started on the weaning process at three weeks of age and should be fully weaned by six to eight weeks. If you serve your kitten canned food, mash it up and mix it with water to form gruel. You can even smear this on your kittenâs lips to encourage her to lick it off. Some kittens will take the food as a mash but make sure there are no big chunks. Dry food can also be soaked and used to make gruel.
