Do you think she's too young to be away from her mom? I also read online, about the chewing, that you can freeze a wet towel with crushed ice in it and give her that to chew at times, that is soothes the teething process? Does that really work?

Thank you for all the advice
How much does she weigh? At 7 weeks, we here consider too young to leave mom and believe they should stay with mom until they are 12 weeks so they learn not to bite (hopefully) from their litter mates. She won't be teething until she is approx 5 months old, so her gums should not be bothering her yet! You can give her baby carrots to munch on just for something healthy. They like them because they are crunchy.
