| Im not a breeder but I have fed kittens with a dropper bottle. If they are 3 weeks old it seems like they are old enough to introduce some gruel for them to lap up on their own

| I would post in the Breeder's Forum below. You'll probably get more feedback and it will be from people who are familiar with this sort of situation. Breeder Talk - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community
