They are little fatties!! I am italian and we believe in feeding our families well
Bella is fed around the clock but I do notice when the pups nurse it looks like it takes a toll on Bella. The pups are very "licky" so is that an indicator that they are ready for something new?? Can you explain lap? I am assuming this will be when they lap something from a shallow bowl? Is the something formula or something different?
I have also moved them to a kiddie swimming pool with a blanket for padding (during the day while we are in the living room with them) At night or when we are not home they all go back in the whelping box. Bella loves the pool because she can get in and out easily. I like it because I can easily keep an eye on them all and easy to clean up!
