Puppies can start on soaked dry puppy food at around 3 weeks of age. Just soak the puppy food in some warm water and let soften to just a mush. Then you can add a little Esbilac, warm water or canned milk (never use cow's milk). diluted one part canned milk to one part water. At around 4 weeks you can soak the puppy food with just warm water and then eventually they can eat the dry puppy food just dry & crunchy. Always use a good name brand dry puppy food, not some cheap store brand.

Standard dog food would be difficult for puppies to eat and digest but it is not 'bad' for them in the sense that it is poison.
Puppies usually aren't equipped to hunt and kill on their own, so no, they wouldn't tend to eat other animals including other puppies. They eat milk from their mothers and the partially digested food provided for them by members of their pack. Or in the case of puppies raised in a home, they eat the easily digested puppy food provided by the human owner.
about an inch of food
No it will cut its mouth
For the first few weeks, puppies are nursed on milk produced by the mother dog. As the pups develop they need to start transitioning to solid food. If assistance from the breeder is not available to produce gruel for the puppies to eat, the mother dog will eat and partially digest food which she then vomits for the puppies to eat. This sustains the puppies while they practice eating solid food until they are able to digest it themselves.
puppies can eat solid food around 8-12 weeks after they are weaned
