PetSmart, Walmart, grocery stores should all have it. Mix that with kitten canned food in a bowl. It won't hurt to grab a bottle to see if they will take it. If 4-5 weeks they should be able to figure out eating from a bowl, but I've seen kittens that age who are still pretty attached to the nipple life. You can also feed them kitten formula or the formula/canned food mix from a syringe.

At their age, they're so used to mom's teat, they'd probably reject a larger, harder rubber nipple. Karadeniz May 2022 #14
