They really are gorgeous!! I wouldn't supplement the pups if they are ALL eating and ALL gaining. At least not at first. Keep a CLOSE CLOSE eye on their weight and on the Mother. She should not get too thin. You'll need to give her meat, cheese, cottage cheese, and an occassional cooked egg (no salt or butter). She'll definetly need the protein. You have so many that you probably will need to supplement the Mom. I can't believe in this day and age they haven't come up with a better word than "Bitch" for our female pets, but you need to get "Bitch Milk Replacement". Ask your vet about supplementing the babies before just trying something on your own. That really is an incredible litter you have there! Mine are 4 days old today and I just got a 2 hour nap. Most sleep I've got since they were born. You must be exhaused! good luck!
