There are lots of ways to wean so you have to just pick a method that works best for you and your pups. It can get really messy, especially with a big litter.
I let the momma decided when to wean them. Most of my mommas will let their pups nurse until they are 10 to 12 weeks old. |
Thank you! I'll experiment a little and see how they do.
