I am so lost.....When do I start potty trainig them?? She still cleans them but I have noticed in the last 3 days they are soiling the blankets Is this normal?? What should their "new envirioment" look like?? Please someone, the vet said as early as 3 weeks I can wean them, sounds too early to me, Tinkerbell still has alot of milk, although I have noticed she nurses less than before |
I wouldnt recommend worming them this early unless they have a worm issue already, too much medicine at this early age isn't good for them. I also think unless they arent getting enough milk from mom that its best to let them wean themselves, they will start to show interest in mom's food then you will know its time. Potty trainning can be started already, usually I devide their box in half with half blankets and half weewee pads. I went from a whelping box to a small kiddie pool surrounded by an x-pen as they grew. Once they were big enough I took the pool out and they started living in their gated community!!
