5 week old kitten, with butt hole sticking out, is this normal?

we just got her a few days ago, and she seems ok. she plays, eats, drinks, and grooms, but i picked her up a few hrs ago and (as weird as this sounds, i swear that it true, i am NOT and toll) he but hole is sticking out and kind of red. i put her into the litter box, and she doesn't go. i not sure if she goes while i am not looking, i don't watch 24/7. just need to know if she is okay. any one know anything. please.

    She probs already went. That's normal. And it could also look like that of a worm just finished exiting

    She could have had a worm. My kittens get their first deworming at 4 weeks of age.

    You are describing a prolapsed rectum, and no she is not okay. She needs a vet.
