Yes, 5-week-old kittens can start drinking water. While they still primarily receive hydration from their mother’s milk or milk replacement formula, introducing water at this stage is beneficial.
Offer fresh, clean water in a shallow dish that is easily accessible to the kittens. They may not consume large amounts initially, but having access to water helps them develop good drinking habits and supports their overall health.
It’s important to monitor the water dish regularly and ensure it is kept clean and refilled as needed to maintain proper hydration for the kittens.
