About 6 wks if my memory serves me right... You need to be giving them NutriCal when they do start weaning for vitamins and extra calcium. I actually take hard puppy food (whatever their mommy eats, but the puppy formula) and soak it to make it soft.
I start paper training my babies at 2 wks, when they start leaving the box and exploring around them. I put puppy pads everywhere on the bathroom floor and eventually start putting out less and less until there's only 1 or 2 in the room with them. They always seem to find it. They are usually trained by 4 to 5 wks of age. Then I can actually start letting them out in the rest of the house when I'm home in the evenings and can watch them closely so they know where the pads are. I've never had a problem.
Hope this helps. |
Thank You so much for your input, I guess I am a week late in potty training them
They have been in the box with mommy, and she had been keeping it very clean until about 3 days ago, so I guess I have to change the sleeping arrengment
. I have her in a metal X-pen, in a box and she has pad holder in there and her food
