Re: Weaning puppies - how much etc

Weaning my lot was a bit harder, because mum gave up feeding them not long after 2 weeks

I started off with whelpi then gradually adding a bit of soaked dry food, so at first it was just like soup. Then adding a bit more.

I got a puppy feeding dish from my pet shop until they were a bit bigger and then used Ikea puppy dish(20p each!), one each so I could see who was eating how much.

I was feeding them every 2 hours at first, then by the time they were 4 weeks, every 3 hours during the day, 1st feed at 6 am and I was feeding 6 meals a day, they were sleeping from midnight til 6.

At 6 weeks they were having 4 meals a day and it was just soaked dry food, no whelpi.

Trying to feed 9 puppies and keeping each to their own dish is quite hard! I ended up having a line right from the kitchen to the back door!
