Default orphaned kittens - part 2

1 week down - 4 more to go (at least)

All are chowing down on the KMR. All are peeing in the litter box. Someone
pooped out of the box overnight so we still need to work on that. They are
walking, starting to climb, have started cleaning themselves and participate
in free for all wrestling matches.

The vet said to start them on Step 2 and start the weaning process. So far
I've just wasted Step 2. They show no interest what so ever (other than
walking in it). They are more interested in eating kitty litter than the
food from a dish. I've tried putting it on my finger, in a spoon, putting a
little on their mouth - nada. They just act very offended and cry for the
bottle. Any suggestions?

They also have fleas. Not many, but I've combed off maybe 6 fleas this week.
Is there anything safe to use on kittens this young or should I just keep
combing them off until they are older?
