So mine are 10 weeks old and one still trys to nurse and momma allows it, I do not try to stop it but do put food down, When I frist started putting wet food down momma would eat it up befor the pups could even get to it even if i gave her wet right before hand, I soon found out to give pups wet food but to keep momma away untill they ate, and to keep dry food down always.... This works good, as the pups do try to nurse and momma will let them every now and again they are eatting more dry food then nurseing, but the eatting good on their own did not start untill 2 weeks ago maybe a little less.. |
