I had to hand feed mine for almost 2 weeks. One would not even drink unless i put it in my hand. You just have to keep trying. Have you tried whelping pudding? Boiled chicken, yogurt, ice cream anything you think she might like. I even had to hand feed the ice cream.

As long as they are sleeping it should be fine.

Mine open thier eyes anywhere from 10 days to 16 days..she was a late one.

I start mine of mushy ground food at about 4 weeks.

It depends on the mom. I have seen some that would nurse forever. My last girl kicked hers off around 7 weeks. The little one had sharp teeth and was hurting her. Some stop earlier just depends on mom.
