weaning

what age should i start to wean the pups (SBT)they are two weeks tommorrow, where does the time go

i start mine no later than 3 weeks
i always feed the bitch in the bed with the pups, she is feed on the same as them, as soon as they start looking to see what mam has i start them,

same here..........

Both my litters are 3 weeks old, Poppys have been on soaked Burns now for over a week, Jasmines are feeding better from her so aren't so keen, but I do give them the same although they don't eat as much.

But I would say the same as bobbi and Inca, definitely no later than 3 weeks

I think with a big litter the mum is more than happy to relieve the stress when they get to 3 weeks all that feeding and those sharp teeth

with my last litter as soon as the pups where 3 weeks old it was left up to me she would cheeck them a few times a day and that was that

Poppy isn't too keen to feed her pups now, they are 24 days old with BIG sharp teeth!!

Today I even put a dish of Welpi down for them, it's been so hot here today they were all hot and crashed out in the whelping box! Even teddy looked hot!!

I actually let the pups continue feeding off mum for quite some time, I didnt start weaning them til they were approx 5-6 weeks old, if mum had not wanted to continue I would have weaned a little earlier, but as mum and pups were totally happy with this arrangement who am I do interfer plus the fact I was keeping them til they were 12 weeks old so there was no rush to get them off mum.

great picture, we dont see any sun up here thee is too much smog around and it cant get though lol

the reason i asked is abbie doesnt seam to have a great deal of milk

how about taking abbie away from the pups for about an hour and then putting a bowl of what were you are going to wean the pups on to and see what they do. if they dont wont it try them again in a few days
