Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Wow, would you look at those sweet babies! You can sure tell that mom's been taking good care of them. That is a really good picture with them all lined up like that. Mom looks great too.

I have also moved them to a kiddie swimming pool with a blanket for padding (during the day while we are in the living room with them) At night or when we are not home they all go back in the whelping box. Bella loves the pool because she can get in and out easily. I like it because I can easily keep an eye on them all and easy to clean up!

| Thanks!!! Bella Mia is a wonderful mommy! I put her and all the pups in a "kiddie pool" lined with a blanket and they all had room to spread out which made for the perfect photo opportunity!

I started with my last litter at 3 weeks of just the Goats Milk, and after a week added the Rice Cereal. At about 4-5 weeks a began adding the puppy food. Fix a large pie tin of Canned Goats Milk = parts of distilled water, Gerber's Rice Cereal make it very soupy so they can lap it up easy. You can add a bit of Karo Syrup to it. Don't expect miracles, especially if Bella's milk is abundant. Let them lick it from your fingers. Feed at Room Temp. They're gonna make a mess. Walk through it and the likes. Keep Bella out of the area for about an hour and do it before they nurse. Once you put Bella back in she'll lick the plate clean and clean the pups. Then you can add new bedding. With this many pups, this is the time you should really monitor Bella to make sure she isn't being depleted of calcium and the pups taking to much out of her.

I dont feel like Bella is losing any weight but she isnt gaining it either. She feeds the pups for a total of 20 to 30 minutes every couple of hours during the day. At night she is in the whelping box with them. They have all steadily gained weight with the "toad" at just under 2 lbs and the "dinky" at just over 1 lb. All eyes and ears open and practicing walking has just started. Anything specific that I should do or do differently?

Use the benebac whenever you do changes to their food. Always have a toad in the pile and a dinky. You're doing great.

| Minus the mess I think it went well. I woke them from a nap so once we finished with all the pooping and peeing and probiotics. I made the pups gruel and I put it on my fingers and then across their little mouths...I did the toad first and he totally got the hang of it right away so I placed him at the pan and he lapped away...One other little guy picked it right up too. The other three would lick it off my fingers but not from the pan. Only one pup actually climbed in the pan before I could catch him. Bella cleaned them all up after I finished with them. How many times a day should I try this little adventure?

I love when they walk through the food.....it's too cute to see them all messy. Reminds me of when my babies started feeding theirselves......in the hair, up the nose, on the walls.....in my hair
