Good advice. These pups are much to young, and much too small to be away from their mother all day. Why the big rush to seperate them from mom? As long as mom cooperates...the pups need both her and her milk for another 2 to 3 weeks...maybe more. You can offer moistened or ground up kibble mixed with puppy formula. But Mom should still be the main food supply at this early of an age.
