Give it puppy food until it is 6-8 weeks.
i think they eat/drink their mom's milk
all puppies should stay with their mom for at least 8 weeks (2 months)
Our chihuahua tried to eat one of her puppies. We had to put it with another mom that just had puppies.
puppies do lick their mom
they should be able to sleep at about a month so that they can get used to there mom
Puppies have to be atleast 1 month old before they leave their mother.
Yes, Check with a vet immediately.
I would think yes.
Can they - yes, but puppies should stay with mom and the litter until 8 weeks of age. Usually as they start on solid foods, mom comes around less and less but it is important to allow them the full 8 weeks or longer to be together. This is a critical learning stage for the puppies to develop dog social skills that will aid them later in life. It is a proven fact that puppies taken earlier have a higher percentage of developing behaviorial issues as they grow up.
Puppies are the young of dogs. They are helpless and need care from their mom.
There are a couple of reasons why:1. They're cannibals.2. They may not of recognized their child's scent (another way to deal with this is by abondoning them).
Puppies should stay with the mother dog for 6 to 8 weeks. The pups should be weaned by the end of 8 weeks and eating solid food. Then they can be adopted.
