Im going to give her a scrambled egg in the morning and some food with goats milk, and will feed her 5 small meals a day, which i think is sufficient.
Marnie will let me know if she is hungary anyway!!! she has just had some steak, with a warm bowl of goats milk!
the pups are all quiet, which is a good sign that they are fed and well.
Im keeping an eye on the smallest so it gets its share of milk, but i was watching it crawl inbetween the other pups and get right to a nipple!!!
(My last litter was only 2 weeks ago when they all left, another big litter of 7!!! Again a really tiny little boy, who ended up been the first to do everything!!! ie, crawl, eyes open, eat, toilet train etc.
Ive never had such a big litter, but hoping to cope ok!!

Calcium supplements are never given prior to whelp, but after with any litter that is 3 or more. And you have 8....she'll need all the help she can get. Nothing with soy as it is a calicum depleter.
Wow sounds like you have some pretty prolific girls there.
