Kittens still being stimulated to go potty at 5 weeks.

Hiya,

I have this odd situation that I can’t seem to find information on.
My 5 week old kittens still aren’t using their litter tray, and I’ve only found 3 accidents so far. I keep seeing their mum stimulating them to go toilet and I assume she’s still eating their poop, which is why I can’t find any evidence that they’ve gone (and I’ve searched their room from top to bottom)

Is this normal? What do I do?

Otherwise they seem completely fine. They’re eating, playing and sleeping lots.

Momma usually ends with eating up their poo after they begin eat kitten food. Because the consistency and smell of the poo changes.

If she continues, its a little unusual, but it seems a harmless variation...
