The kittens are 2 weeks old now and I thought they needed worming, after a bit of googling most recommended about 2-3 weeks but I rang the vets to ask and they said to start worming at 4 weeks.
Is 4 weeks best or should they be done now?

I wormed my kittens at 4/5 weeks, then again at 8wks, 11 wks and 13 weeks before they left me.
My queens were always wormed before they went to be mated also, but just as a precaution, because I never worm my cats as they don't get raw meat, don't eat wildlife and don't get fleas, so there is no need.

Puppies should be routinely be wormed at 2 weeks as they can get worms transplacentally from the mother. This doesn't happen in kittens so they can be done later. 4-5 weeks is what is normally recommended
