I would also like to know how I can make my kittens become more domestic. They were wild cats and found them with no mother. Thank you for your responses.

OK first Here is capstar:Treats flea infestations on pets. Starts killing adult fleas on the pet within 30 minutes. One dose lasts 24 hours. For pets over four weeks of age. Next, Program: Flavor Tabs for cats and kittens 4 weeks of age or older.
When Abbie was a baby we had to use the spray from the vet and we sprayed it on a damp towel then wrapped her in it for 1/2 and hour per the vet's instruction.
Also vacuum all rooms once a day and empty the bag into a zip lock bag and throw away after each use.
I was told all animals needed to be treated so thats what we did.
Hope this helps.

They still need milk. Go to walmart and buy kitten formula in the pet section. It has a baby kitten on the front.
Also - my kittens (now 3 weeks old) had fleas when I got them. I ran a sink full of warm water and soaked them for awhile. I then sat there and picked them all out one by one. You can also get a flea comb that takes them out. A little tiny bit of gentle dish soap like dawn on the kitten during the bath will drown the fleas.
They might need several baths over the next few weeks.
Email me if you have questions about them, I bottlefeed kittens.

You should consult a vet for kittens that young. Don't use over-the-counter flea products like Hartz. In the mean time, use a flea comb. Comb the fur, and then dip the comb in a solution of dish soap and hot water, and repeat. As for making them more domestic, they are still young. Just cuddle with them as much as you can. When you hold them, stroke their paws as well, so that they become socialized to that type of touch. Then, they won't struggle as much later when you are clipping their nails. They might not bond to you instantly, and they might never be lap cats, but you can certainly influence their behaviors and attitudes at this age. Just keep at it. Oh, and make sure you vacuum daily! Most of the fleas hang out in the carpet.

Which spot-on did you employ at the kitten?! None are suitable for a kitten this age! Any flea therapy purchased from a puppy retailer will have to now not also be implemented to grownup animals - puppy retailer remedies do not paintings and lots of are harmful, and I've by no means identified of any that declare to be suitable for cats underneath 12 weeks of age. Even veterinary spot-ons don't seem to be suitable for kittens underneath eight weeks. Please do not tub the kitten both, this may increasingly quite now not support with the fleas although you employ a flea shampoo. How come you are concerned approximately flea shampoo should you have been blissful to use a place-on besides?! Get a few Frontline spray out of your vets. It's the one factor dependable ample for kittens underneath eight weeks of age - the one factor dependable ample that honestly works, that's. It can be utilized on dogs and kittens from two days of age. Chalice

I think my Jack was closer to 2 months, but I just kept bathing him with warm water and kitten shampoo, and combing/plucking out all the fleas I could find while he was still soapy, thats what I kept doing until he was big enough for advantage. Be sure to get suds around the face, ears and anus/genitals first, because those horrid creatures will try to hide there for protection.

first you can bath them. I would also get a hold of the vet and ask waht should be done. i hate to say but if you have them inside you will also need to bomb. the rule is for every flea there's 100 you don't see.
I have used 7 dust with no problem.
As far as miking friendly they should be confined in one place and handle as often as possible. They will learn to depend on people for tehir food and care.
Good Luck.

you should take them to the vet and have them checked out before you take them home they also sell flea killers there and just keep them inside and when they do something you dont like spray them with a water bottle and they will stop and evertually they will learn not to do it and in a few days they should stop
