When we brought our beagle home at 7 weeks she was the same, didnt seem to want to eat much for the first few days. But dont worry, it didnt last long! shes nearly 11 weeks now and she practically inhales the food, we're thinking of getting something with bigger pieces so that she'll have to chew more.
On the issue of milk, our breeder told us to use goats milk as he said that was the closest to bitches milk.
We also give her a raw egg whisked up at tea time which she loves.
It is a bit worrying, but if you put the food and water down every meal time, she'll take it when she settles in a bit.

Hey guys, i've just register here because i wanted some help with my puppy. It is also a JRT, female, 7 weeks old and i'm bringing her home in a few days. So i am wondering what is the healthiest food for a puppy that young? I'm really super excited and can't wait to bring her home, but i am also a little scared 'cause i don't really have an experience with this breed, so i will need all the help i can get Thanks!

Hi , we got murphy at 6 weeks (we were also new to it and didn't really know everything , plus my mum & dad got him and they don't know one end of a dog to the other)

He didn't eat on the first day and not much on the second day ..... he's never been too keen on his food anyway , picked up a bit of interest when we switched him to WW and now loves it because of the meat he gets in , but just keep on going and she should settle in

Six weeks is young to be leaving mum and litter mates. 8 weeks is the norm.
Eating is not quite such a worry as much as the drinking. Without drinking pups can dehydrate pretty quickly. Puppys do sleep a lot they need to but in between should be bright and alert and playful. If she is not playing and alert inbetween the sleeping, not eating and especially not drinking it could possibly be a cause for concern. Does her nose seem really hot and dry, do her ears feel hot. If they do and/or she seems extra sleepy still wont eat or drink then I think it might be an idea to get her checked over. Cant say it is or isnt of course because we cant see her. If she has or developes/ diarhhoae and is sick then you really do need to get her checked out asap.
Off food and drink and seeming depressed and lathargic can mean they are incubating an illness especially in one so young.
