PUPS 23 days old . Eyes, ears functioning and the tongues are uncurling...
With the pups' tongues starting to flatten out and teeth appearing it is time to start to wean off mom's milk. Pups will be given thickened food individulally from a dish of rice pablum mixed with goats milk and or strained baby food.
To help Mom to decrease her milk supply the pups will have some of Mom's milk after trying the thickened food then gradually switch to food/water.
Sometimes it takes an athletic maneuver to get your milk !
Just look at those puppy's muscles work . Co-ordination of sucking and standing. What a work out !
Puppy chew on foot
Puppy crawl or stalk ...
Puppy ball contact ...
Sometimes the travel under the pig rails gets a slow and crowded so have to resort to another tactic, ie climb over the obstacle blocking the way....
