But, with a big litter, you might want to help things along about the 6 - 8th week.
I love when they walk through the food.....it's too cute to see them all messy. Reminds me of when my babies started feeding theirselves......in the hair, up the nose, on the walls.....in my hair |
Ok so two of us fed the little guys and gal and what a MESS! I need another shower just to get it out of my hair
Somehow one pup always gets in the pan! I have gruel all over me and Shaun just helped with feeding his boy (the toad "Sherman Tank" we call him Sherman) who probably is the only one not needing help as he laps it right up. I am recruiting the kids to do it at lunch and dinner time from now on while I watch. The pups seem to like it though. Bella asissts with clean up of the pups and the leftovers. It is great though I wouldnt have it anyother way! Not sure how all you professional breeders do this regularly because it certainly is alot of work to do it right! My respect goes out toyou all!!
