Potting reflexes are in place by 4 weeks of age.

Play sessions shouldn't be started until 8 weeks of age. All pups should need between birth and 6 weeks of age is mom. Do not overly handle as this is can cause hyperglycemia. If you can, and I don't what you'd call it in England, but in the states we keep NutriCal and/or NutriDrops on hand.
Sorry guys, I haven't been feeling well today and have spent most of the day sleeping.

There is a sticky in the Breeding Section for Whelping Pudding. I've had tremendous luck with this recipe feeding tinies like this pup. You might want to try that.
