I have 2 week old kittens, I let the mom out for a bathroom break and
she never returned? Its been 2 days! What is the best mixture to feed
the kittens? The have no teeth but have been taking milk from a suringe.

They sell a special canned milk for cats in the
pet-food section at the grocery store.
You might also try the juices from canned tuna
or chicken.
If theres a pet store near you, I'd also check with
them and see what they think and have.

You need to get to the nearest pet store and buy a milk substitute like
KMR. It can be found at PetCo. Regular milk won't cut it, a kitten can
actually starve to death with regular milk. Failing all this try
this...

Mother's Milk Substitute for Kittens and Puppies
240 ml (8 oz) Homogenized (3.25% milk fat) or evaporated milk (if you
use evaporated milk, dilute two parts milk in one part water). Mother's
milk substitutes are also available at a vet's office.
5 ml (1 teaspoon) Canola oil
1 drop Multivitamins for humans (or for kittens)
2 Egg yolks
5 ml (1 teaspoon) Corn syrup

Put all ingredients in a mixer and warm the milk before each feeding.

After each feeding
Help the tiny animal to burp after each feeding. Then wash its abdomen
and genitals with warm water to stimulate urination and defecation.
Gently dry then rub the animal.

Each one makes the perfect size for a dumpling, fried and served steaming
hot. Yummy....................

Head to any pet store and get a replacement formula and bottle. They
will also have canned food for kittens.. you can try putting this out to
help them.

Anything you try to feed them from around the house may not have all the
required nutrients they need.

Also, be prepared to feed them every 3-4 hours minimum until they are on
solid food.
