I was following what my vet suggested - fully weaned by 7 weeks - the vet actually preferred 6 weeks. They are scheduled to get their shots at 8.5 weeks. They are scheduled to go to new homes at 11-12 weeks and I felt it was best for them to be fully weaned before that. Waiting until 10 weeks doesn't give them much time to learn to eat completely on their own.

Thank you Carmen for the parsley suggestion. I will try that.
