Although, It is recommended that pups are kept until a minimum of 12 weeks of age. There are so many other factors that come into play. One is as you say the weight of the pup, how well they are eating on their own, etc. But, if one is now keeping the new Bile Acid protocol in mind, the timeline would be 16 weeks.
