Feeding kibble not raw, yesterday morning all bar one had nice poos by the evening we had mostly sloppy

but they are not eating everything and the ones who are worst don't seem to be the ones who eat the most and I am certainly not putting down as much food as they should be eating between them.

So what to do? shall I stop wetting the kibble and let them eat dry in case there is too much water? just give them the kibble and not add even the small amount of wet food, just give them wet food with no kibble?

They are 5 weeks old so I would have thought they are eating properly now. They are all healthy and putting on weight at a steady rate and evenly across all 6 so there isn't a problem per se just a smell and mess


Small Fluffy - you are lucky with only the one fragrant one

I think mum has finally decided that feeding all 6 is bad news as she is grumbling at them whenever she is silly enough to get in to the box/pen that they are in.

I think we cracked the food thing made the kibble less soft and fed them less today and the latest batch of .... is much better, no additions to the kibble except water. We'll see tomorrow.

Can't wait until Molly's 12 puppies are being weaned - if they take after their mum they'll be too posh to eat

Be glad you girl is happy to clean up, ours is and tries to but we beat her to it or she'd be eating a rather large quantity of ........ don't want to think about it really and even she can't keep up with it bless her she just gets attacked if she goes in with the pups

Question people

I thought I had the food thing sussed but this evening we have squits again - is it because they are getting too much food or because they have been out in the sun today?

reddogs it could be a mixture of both or one or the other, would you mind if i asked what kibble you're using? pm if you'd rather! They could have also been picking up bit's & pieces from the garden x

Burns and welpi separately not together

rather think it's eating the grass .....

you wouldn't think anything was wrong judging by the tumble tots going on at the moment

chasing round with newspaper to catch the liquid mmmmm! I think it's one that is bad - well I know it is but not sure if another one is too. Normally I'd starve but they are too little for that

sorry to be a pain, I knwo you've had a long few days

How old are they now ? I'm guessing about 5-6 weeks going by what you're saying about the garden! I would be inclined to stop feeding the whelpi now,
they really don't need milk at this age reddogs & this could well be contributing to their squitty butt's x x

youve got to be nackered!! sorry i dindnt give any congrats ive been a little busy well done to you and mum and dad and pups, hope the feeding is going smoothly

Yep I did think about the milk thing and decided that they weren't going to get much more but I will stop it now, they had some at breakfast but that was because I had one that didn't want to eat but that is the last. Let's hope that just soaked kibble will sort things out as it was a bit unfortunate this morning when we came down!
