I would consult your vet but will let you know what I have seen and done with mine.

I have some bitches dig like that not sure why. I just thought they were getting comfortable.

They are 2 weeks old it's normal for mom to want away.

She needs to be feed 5-6 times a day now. I give mine eggs, cottage cheese, a couple spoons of wet food mixed with dry, boiled chicken and rice. Anything they like to give the extra. Plus leaving her dry kibble for her out all the time. She needs plenty of water too. I would have her on a calcium supplement also with that big of litter.

Also make sure the pups don't have diarrhea. They can dehydrate really fast.
