Whaaaat?
No, the pups will die if they don't eat....rather quickly at that. You can use nutra drops if they are not eating enough, but they will only help out so far.
To the OP...it is normal for the mom to start losing interest in the pups at this point. It is time for them to start being weaned. Time to start introducing them to food to give momma a break. Make sure you are monitoring them closely at this point to make sure that they are eating enough AND that they are not draining your girl of her milk (and calcium supply)!
