My Roxie just had a litter of 7 on the 10th. They may need to be coaxed a bit and spoiled the first week. I put egg in her kibble for breakfast, cottage cheese goes in it for lunch and hamburger and rice for dinner. She receives a vitamin at bedtime and nurtracal if she looks tired around the eyes. Kibble and fresh water needs to be available to them at all times. I've even resorted to hand feeding boiled chicken to get them going. It's imperitive that you take care of mom so that she can take good care of her pups. Don't be afraid to spoil her the first week, she deserves it. Congrats on your litters.
