| Best Food for Babies 5 weeks old pups, boy/girl. Starting grinding Canidae and California Natural but not eating it well. They Love nursing on Mom. Problem - She's getting tired of nursing 24/7, seperated them for few hours at time, but can't seem to get pups real interested in FOOD!? Any suggestions to get them munching better? They'll lick once or twice off plate, but that's about it. I've shoved it in their little mouths, let them lick my fingers for days, everything I can think of. Added chicken broth, even bought the unthinkable "Puppy Chow" last night, and they did seem to like it better and lick a little more, but still not real interested! I just want them to start weaning a little more. Someone suggested cottage cheese in a book?!? |

| I think they need to be a little more hungry. Take Mom away early in the morning & let her back to nurse late in the evening & then do not leave her with them all night. The next day only let them nurse one time, right before bedtime & continue that until you decide to wean completely.
