QuestionHello,
I just bought a Bengal kitten yesterday from a desperate seller and it is only 5 weeks old.This is a young age for a kitten to be separated from its mother so I am not sure if i should bottle feed it with milk and what sort of milk? It is too young to eat solid food so what shall i feed her? If milk is enough than how many times a day? Should i take it to the vet and get it vaccinated now or wait for 8 weeks? I hope all this isn't a trouble
AnswerHaya,
First of all I would go to this site:

It is an excellent website for Bengals. They have lots of information plus an email address where you can ask this question of Bengal experts.
Do NOT give regular milk to the kitten. Your kitten can begin to eat solid food now. One suggestion is Gerber's baby food, like chicken or beef.
Here is a website that shows the development of a kitten by age (weeks) that is very helpful: (copy and paste or type the whole link into your address bar)
