3 weeks

Thursday, our 9 Schoko puppies had become already three weeks. This is than also the time that they need more space, where they can walk and to discover new things. When being two weeks they get, als usual their first wurm cure and had nothing against it. After this, I started with giving them extra food, something that was not that successfull. As usual with Terra Canis Puppyfood out of a can. Two, at the most three where trying it. After having watched this for two days, I started feeding them minced meat at a temperature of 38 degrees Celcius. That was an enormous success! All of them where eating like maniacs and not one crumb was left for mama Schoko. In the mean time we are feeding them 2x 400 grams minced meat per day. As I wrote, they moved to kindergarden on Thursday. They took it very relaxed. Whenever Schoko wants, she can go over to her puppies.
She loves to lie down with her little ones, cleans them and then sleep together for a while. The little ones have done an exploratory research and are playing with a rope, that is haging down from the ceiling. Most of their time, they spend in their basket, where they have a plate that keeps them warm. Pictures of this, you can see next week and also the names for this litter will be announced.

As first of course the little heartbreaker, the male.
