Kitten feeding problem

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and i got a little problem with my new kitten

We got 2 kittens they are 6 and a half weeks old, i know alot of you here dont like it if they are taken away to early, but we had to due to unseen events.

Now one of them is fine and healthy but the other one doesnt seem to be eating very well. we put down cat's milk, water , dry food and dry food with milk. But she doesnt like any of it the only way we can get her to eat is by putting milk on a spoon and she sits there quite happy drinking away. We try lowering the spoon into the bowl / saucer but she gets really close so she touches it has a sniff and begins to shake and get really scared.

We are really worried about her, we have tried so much stuff like putting the food on her paws and stuff. She just seems so scared of food and anything to do with it.

she seems happy in herself tho she runs and fights with the other one and really holds her own.

We phoned a couple of vets for advice and they said sometimes kittens can develop slower then others but if this continues she wont survive on cat milk, and that we need to try and force feed her

and anyone of you give me some ideas or tips to get her eating please, we really are worried sick.

thanks!!
