Your brokering partner stated...price is justified because of the additional care needed for rearing a tiny litter, this statement alone speaks volumes as to the special needs of tinies.

actually as I reread her statement it is filled with justification for a price tag of $5000 yet it is merely the daily care for ANY LITTER no matter the size of the bitch/stud.
ALL PUPPIES can not regulate their own heat for the first 3 weeks
all puppies should be doted on regularly including ENS as well as weighed 3times a day for the first two weeks and once a day after that...
all puppies should be kept for at least 12 weeks of age
PAT testing starts at about 8 weeks
Size of the bitch does not yield a larger litter (meaning quantity)
must be fed often specially after weaning (free feed is the preferable method)

i do have food available for them at all times a lot of times i can hear them crunching on food in the middle of the night i keep food for them on my head board of my bed they have to eat at least every 3 to 4 hours because there little stomachs can not hold enough food for them to go 8hrs with out food you have to make sure they take there naps so they don't play to hard and wear themselfs out they are much different then a bigger yorkie but once they are at least a year old they do very very well it's just when they are younger is when they don't realize they are little dogs some of them think they are 10 pounds
