3 of the 5 pups she will feed but the runts aren't doing that great with her. I am bottle feeding the runts every 2 hours like the doc says but yesterday she did something really weird and wanted to know what you all thought about it.
She buried her runts. I have the pups and momma in a playpen. it has a blanket in it. But she buried her pups under the blanket and then sat on them. Why would she do this? I am trying to keep an eye on them, but every time I see her with them she pushes them away or tries to bury them again....

Well the reasons could be many. Is this her first litter? How old is the mom?
Have you talked to the vet about this specific behaviour? If so, what is their idea?
