Are my kittens too small?

We’ve just got two gorgeous kittens, they are 11 weeks old tomorrow. I went to buy worming tablets but can’t find anything for their weight and am now concerned they might be too tiny. One is 350g and one is 500g?

Definitely not 11 weeks. Honestly they look 6 weeks at best to me having raised a litter recently.

They look about six weeks old if not younger. For reference, we got ours at six weeks as he was abandoned by his mum and this was what he looked like.

They are absent beautiful OP. It's been such a long time since I've had a kitten, I'd forgotten how cute they are 😻. Loving all of the gorgeous kittens on this thread.

I can't comment on their weights and ages, but I just wanted to ask you though, does the darker one have something wrong with her left eye? Or is it very watery? It looks like she has a darker bit underneath it in one photo, and the eye looks a little bit closed in the one of them both together lying down.

I've reared kittens from 3 weeks -. The biggest looks about 7 weeks and the little one nearer 5 to me (but could just be the runt of the litter, hopefully without genetic issues).

They look about 6 weeks imo. Too young to be away from mum

Love everyone’s pictures - so cute.
I called the vet today and he isn’t concerned as they are still running around causing chaos! He has given me some worming paste and will see them next week for their second vaccinations. Will update then on ages etc!
