You'll find an age by size and weight guide on www.kittenlady.org Did you find him or is he a foster? He's young so needs specialist help, more info at Kitten Lady on what and how to feed, stimulation for toilet needs and keeping warmer than us.

Claws begin to retract at about a month. Eyes lose that milky baby blue by about 2 months. This guy is tiny, has blue eyes & claws that don’t seem to retract. I’d say about 4 weeks.

He appears pretty tiny in the photo, but looks a little more aware than 3 weeks to me. Kittens can look kind of vague and are not too interactive at 3weeks.I’d guess somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks.

Mm she definitely knows what's going on around her but she's just so small it's hard to know.

Perhaps she is the runt of the family? It’s not uncommon for the runts to be quite small compared to their littermates ;-) Does she become playful if you try to engage her With toys, or does she not really “get it” yet?

Just a little more info on miss Murph we got told she was about 7 weeks but I believe she is much younger.
She was found abandoned in a backyard only 260 grams. My partner and I have fostered a lot of kittens but never any this small.
She had a bit of a rough spot early in the week but has bounced back and started to put on weight. She's put on 15grams over night!!

Definitely not 8 weeks. This baby still needs kitten formula for a bit yet. I'd recommend you check out The Kitten Lady, her website and YouTube are full of great information on caring for young kittens

Oh he's a baby. I'd say four or five weeks. What do his teeth look like?
