Here's a link to a feeding guide Handraised Puppies Feeding Chart It's pretty well in line with other sources I've seen. The pups should have a nice, tight belly after a feeding. I've found an eye dropper works well with hand feeding. If you go slow with it, there's little risk of the pups aspirating the formula. My pups usually start eating on their own (at least trying) at around 4 weeks old. It's usually a few days after they start wandering around.
