Answer
Hi

I am not sure what you are asking. If you are looking for general tips and advice on how to look after a orphan kitten then i can point you towards my web page concerning this here

/orphan-kittens.html

If you are asking for help re his teething then there is nothing you can do for him, he will be fine. I wouldn't recommend that you allow him to chew your fingers as this ca become a habit which can become a problem when they get older.

His nudging etc is due to him being hungry and then the chewing is him trying to suckle. As he is so young you can feed him when he does this.
