Re: New kittens help!

Hi Terry and welcome!

Another alternative for worming is to get some Panacur from the vet. This is a paste that you syringe carefully into kittens mouth or put onto the food, whichever is easiest. They need to be wormed from about 6-7 weeks and again at 9-10 weeks.

Food: see what the breeder/current owner is feeding and start off with that, then gradually add some of the food you give to any other cats in the house and if you have only this one baby, then its just as well to keep going with the food he is being given at the moment. However, I think Saffron's advice is good. Royal Canin Babycat is a good nutritional food suitable for kittens of this age. I feed it to mine too. However, mine also get other strange things, like tuna in spring water, scrambled eggs, a small amount for the occasional treat of wafer thin ham or finely chopped roast chicken ....

As for flea treatment.... not sure... others will give their advice.
