@Mardelin- yeah it seems like if I let her call the shots she'll allow them to keep nursing. I try to put her away as soon as they get out of the cage & feed them, I tell her to get on the couch & she looks at me all weird but does it.
I have come to the conclusion yesterday that they are wanting to eat the regular dry puppy food, but I have to feed it to them, but if momma comes around, they run to her. This morning she didnt seem to happy to nurse, & Im kinda yelling at her when I see her doing it & shes getting the point, so hopefully she will stop. I will keep ya posted!!! Anymore ideas I would appreciate it! |
Why not let them? I don't understand what the big deal is.
I bought a 10 week old puppy. I had a mother that was still nursing her 10 week old pups, and the new one nursed on her. they still eat their regular food, they just like to nurse a little once or twice a day. Some mothers won't let them, others will. I don't see any harm in it.
