Taking care of 2 week old kittens

One of my friends found some kittens in an old house he's renovating. They were out in the middle of the floor and the house was all boarded up so when he came back the second time, he picked them up. He was just going to get rid of them but I told him we'd take care of him. Right now they're sort of taking to the bottle. One of them is pretty strong and feeding well, the others seem a little confused by it and will only eat with a lot of work. Is there an easier way to hand feed these little guys? They're definitely hungry, but they don't like the bottle all that much. Or will it get better over time.

They also appear to have some digestive issues when they're stimulated to pee & poo. They're going, it's just runny. Or should it be runny?

And they have fleas. I see you can't use the regular treatments for this, so I'm just waiting on the vet visit tomorrow.

And is there anything I'm missing?

    yea, it will be runny for a while, that is normal.

    i think we used to give really wet food to the bottle babies, but the bottle is the best bet, though that guy looks older than 2 weeks, way older

    Keep them away from other cats until the vet visit.
