Puppies eating early!! Is it ok for my babies to start eating food as soon as their eyes are open? I have a litter of 4, 3 boys and 1 girl. Not all of them eat the food and the same ones don't always eat but when I feed mom in the nest, they come right over and help themselves. I am supposing it is ok but if the consensus thinks they shouldn't have it, I will take mom out of the nest to eat. Please let me know. Sylvia |
