 Weaning
I am in the midst of weaning my pups they are 5 weeks old tomorrow. I got a tip to put grinded up dry food in a dish and give them a dish of water. I tried it but they liked it better if I poured some milk (Newborn supplement or Esbilac) on the dry food. I went out and bought a coffee bean grinder and it works wonders. They like it and it is working for me. It is so fun assisting them in getting to the food and watching them. Trying to keep them out of the food. Trying to keep there mom out of the line waiting to get to the mixture.
All my pups are 1 pound and or a little bigger. They are cutting their teeth.
I am putting out the pee pads. If I put them on it right away after taking them out of the tote I have them in now they go right away on it. I was going to try to use doggie litter, because of space. who knows it may work.
I like the idea of play pen, my friend gave me a old one today.
Good luck with the wee little one. |
