The formula you're giving them in the bottle can be put on a plate for them to lick up. That's how we started ours. Then, we used the royal canin program. I already had mom on it (it's specifically made for whelping moms and pups when they're ready) and just mixed the food with warm water, let it set for a little bit until it turned to oatmeal looking mush and then set it down for them. It was fun to watch them eat their food, but also stand in the food dish, and then lick the food off each other after lol.
Mine are 9 weeks old now and are in to everything. I have to cage myself into their area just to clean it, because they chase and latch themselves onto my broom, my mop, my shoes.... They're a lot of fun though. I'm going to miss the 2 that are leaving.
