Hi Dexter
My pups have been having their own food for just over a week now this is what I am feeding, not sure it will be helpful though as I am raw feeding.
I started off giving them a small amount of raw tripe with a splash of goats milk (goats milk & cream with added vitamins) on the first day of weaning roughly (2 weeks and 5 days)
I slowly introduced some chicken mince and then beef mince while continuing with the puppy milk
They will be 4 weeks tomorrow and are eating four meals of raw mince and three milk cartons a day, they stop when they have eaten their fill and Fey finishes what is left.
They also chew on Feys chicken wings or lamb rack although they aren't managing to eat any of it yet.
They are still suckling from mum at least three times a day,
I will be introducing some ofal next week a bit of liver and some heart and hopefully they will be fully weaned by 6 weeks.
Today the pups haven't eaten half as much as they did yesterday, but I am sure it will all even it self out as fey and Drym are the same, some days they can't get enough and other days they walk straight past.
they have played a lot today and slept a lot too my eldest daughter came today and she was shocked at how much bigger they are from a few days ago, which tells me that we are heading in the right direction
Keep smiling
