| Ready to start 4week on baby on mush So my orphaned baby turns 4 weeks Saturday! She Just started lapping on her own yesterday. So I'm now ready to start giving her mush but not sure on where to start. How do you all fix your mush and which is the best/worst cannned food. I'm currently using goat milk so do I still use that or Just water? And she always wakes up 3 sometimes 2 hrs later hungry like she hasnt eaten so will the mush hold her over a little longer? And iknow this the time the mother would be weening so do i still feed on demand or is it time for a set scedule? Thanks a bunches in advance |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | There are some puppy recipes somewhere here that are just for this kind of issue....like a 'puppy porridge' or something. Argh, where is that recipe...anyone? Breeders?

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Lots of breeders have different methods, this one is mine. I keep my puppies in a gruel type food until they are about 10 weeks, I grind the kibble until they are 8 weeks, and make a mix of goats milk, soft caned puppy food, a good quality one, I use Instict by Natures variety which is an all stages food for soft, puppy kibble, mix it well mash it and let them eat it.. I do feed the puppies once weaned by mama 4 times a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and a very important meal before bedtime about 8 pm. by the time they go home at 12 weeks they are down to 3 meals a day until they turn 1, then they are switch to adult kibble and fed twice a day. hugs, |

Pretty close to what I do...except I use RC HD-42 kibble (I think that is the number!) it is for unweaned puppies as well as the lactating momma, mixed with canned RC Puppy mousse, mixed with goats milk....and I start this at 4 weeks old........the rest is the same for me.....By 8 weeks, I gradually thicken up the gruel, less goats milk, less canned puppy mousse,....by 10 weeks, just softened kibble/diluted goats milk.....12 weeks, softened kibble/water....they go out at 14 weeks, eating dry RC Puppy kibble. | |
