I start when the babies begin to toddle over and try to eat mama's food. That lets me know they are hungry. They are usually about four weeks or just a day or two less. mardelin, I think it was, told me to use Gerber baby rice cereal thinned with puppy supplement and just a touch of Karo syrup. As far as to how much, I usually just put a little down and spread it around the dish so they all have a space to eat. if they finish that, then I give them a little. i just kind of know when they have had enough. I had to take one baby to the vet tho because of constipation the vet said was caused by the karo syrup and also when you start feeding them, mama slacks up cleaning them and stimulating them to pee/poop so you need to watch that carefully. BTW, I like your gated community. |
