I think between 4-6wks you start encouraging them to eat a little.

Mine have their eyes open (around a week) and their ears are almost up too.
They waddle around and fall alot and are beginning to show interest in one another and things around them.
They are just starting to play - swatting at one another and falling on top of each other a bit.
and sometimes try to groom themselves which is very funny........LOL

See Zelda's kittens - 3wks post - that's them

So u got your hands full then lol I use to be really scared of cats!! I got attached by my auntie wild cat in america when i was 15, it scared the life out of me, i didnt go near cats at all after that, until my son told me he really wanted a kitten!!! so I thought the only way to get over the fear i had was to get one! lol sound funny now, but it was rather scary for me at the time!! I have never looked back since! couldnt be without my cat now, love her to bits, she is a big part of the family!! and now with her kittens even more so!! keep trying to talk my hubby into letting me keep them all, not having much luck tho yet, but he did give in a bit and said i could keep one of them!! lol
