Default Newbie with some questions!!

Hi Everyone!!

I just got my new furball, he is 4months old and 3lbs, his name is Tank I've been reading a lot on here and have found some great advice, but I am new to puppy training especially with potty training so any advice is greatly appreciated!! I have been crate training, and I am following a schedule I found on here actually...I do cheat a little bit and let him out if he hasn't been whining to snuggle with me at times. I have a question though, I am having trouble figuring out if while he is in his crate and whining if it means he needs to go potty or if he is just trying to get out of his crate? I don't let him out or talk to him if he is whining because I don't want to teach him that it is a good behavior. And also, I have had him for only 3 days now but he still doesn't eat much at meal times, I have tried mixing hot water in with his dry food (food I was given when I picked him up because I didn't want to change his food) the hot water seems to help a little but he still doesn't eat enough, and he hasn't pooped yet. I have the nutri gel that I give him to ensure he gets his vitamins and he loves that stuff. Any help is greatly appreciated and sorry this was so long!
Thanks, Gina
