Let me describe: they are small, they weigh 200 gram each. Their eyes are open, and I guess they can see, but they walk unsteadily to random directions. They just scream for food, and drink milk from a bottle, but they need their behind wiped to pee or poop.They sleep close to each other the rest of the time. Their teeth have just started coming out, but they don't eat or even drink from a dish. Does this sound like 3 weeks old or 2 weeks old?

I found them abandoned in the garbage. They are not with their mum, but not by my choice. The vet has seen me, she said 3 weeks, but I read that at 3 weeks they walk more decisively and start palying between them , which these little guys don't do.

They were not abandoned by their mum, but by the mum's owner probably. They were not underfed or anything when I found them. They had just been thrown away from their mum. It's so sad.

Hello dear!
I would agree with the vet.
They might be that powerless due to malnutrition and luck of love during the beginning of their lives, before their angel protector (you) found them!

I hope you are their angel. I wish you luck in raising them with all the love you can share.
What goes around will come around and I wish the worst of luck on the animal (the human owner, I use human loosely) that abandon the little lives so uncaring and inhuman.
This is a question you will want to ask any future dates, have you ever abandoned an animal before. If the answer is "YES" then run away, that person is not good for you.

They sound like they are probably around 2 and a half or 3 weeks old. When they are around 5 weeks old they may start eating soft food, possibly at 4 weeks it just depends.

Kittens eyes usually open at 2 weeks, at 3 weeks they begin to walk. To me they sound on the lower end of 3 weeks. They should begin to show interest in solids in another week or so. Good luck!

They probably not as developed as a 3 weeks old kitten should be because they were abandoned.

Could be 2 weeks or even younger. If they are walking aimlessly they are still blind. Try calling a vet to have them checked up on? Good luck to you!

if they were abandoned by their mother they may not "mature" quite so fast as they have no feline role model to learn from.
If you want to raise them yourself I'd advise getting maybe a book about rearing them or ask one of the rescue associations for advice (i.e. cats protection league)
may be worth looking out for the mummy cat too (if you can set a little trap) then they can be reunited
