Other than that and the chewing (!) she's a very happy, healthy puppy, very playful and friendly. She just tends to chew on fingers alot...!

Thank you!
Are you feeding her the same food as the breeder? Is it a dry kibble? You might try putting a bit of water on her food if she seems to be having trouble chewing it??? Otherwise, she is very young and if she is very tiny, then she won't eat a lot at a time. I don't know what you would have there that would be similar to Nutrical, but that is to keep her from becoming hypoglycemic which can easily happen in the little one's when they don't eat properly. To keep her from biting? They all chew! Just say "ouch" sharply and withdraw your hand and stop playing for a bit and wait for her to come to you and make up again. Try this and let us know what happens. We like to give them bully sticks here for them to chew on. They occupy them and it gives them something to satisfy their need to chew. Probably saves a lot of furniture and fingers, too.
