I got an 8 week old kitten Tuesday night. He's eating fine, playing, etc...normal kitten behavior. However, he hasn't pooped since he got here. Is there anything safe that I could give him to help?

Have any hairball remedy on hand? If not, try a little mineral oil in her food.

You might want to take a washcloth, wet it with warm water, and stimulate the rectum. At that age, she may need the extra help, tho not usually.
You sometimes have to give hairball remedy a few days to work. That young of a kitten doesn't usually have hairball issues, but it's a laxative, so will help get things moving. If no bowel movement soon, you might have her checked at the vet. Could have a blockage or twisted bowel.
Good luck!

RE: Constipated Kitten. Help!
I am real late on this one, but still wanted to add my personal experience.
My oldest kitty, Barry, is finicky about his litterbox habits on a daily basis. However, when I move to a new house (which is often, I have gypsy blood), Barry will sometimes go 2-4 days without pooping. I think he waits until he is comfortable enough in the new house to start his litterbox routine.
So that is what I was thinking with Havoc, maybe the excitement of the new house, new smells, new things to investigate are consuming him and he just hadn't stopped to poop yet.
I am glad he did finally!
Enjoy him, he is absolutely beautiful!!
