    if she letting them feed and they're not hammering her teats
    i say let them keep feeding. if it's stressing mom out and her
    coat is falling off, then give her a break and ween them bad boys.

    I have always weened the pups once their teeth came out and started eating wet dog food. It helped the mom recuperate alot better and her underside would tighten back up.

    she does have patches of hair missing ill take the pups off is that normal for some hair loss
    to occur the pups do get at her right now i have her feeding them 2 to 3 times a day and wet food 2 times a day little bitches are fat as hogs and crap every where

    ok them patches of hair is likely demodex! which is prolly now passed to the pups. if your askin a thread about anything to do with breeding than why the fuck are you doing it?

    please do us all a favor, get your bitch fixxed and cull those pups and take up the exotic fish hobby!

    6 weeks, pull em off the tit give them their shots, and put em in front of hard food, puppy chow that is. sometimes for the first week I soak the food in water.

    it's usually a sign of vitamin deficiency and stress. make sure those pus get wormed two or 3x in the next few weeks. make mom some ground beef and rice with chicken broth daily for a week or two. other than that
    you should be okay.

    anytime partner. don't worry about the comments of the salty guys
    they mean well too. it's just it's hard to read between the lines sometimes.
    we all gotta start some where...i'm sure Colby got his feet wet the
    same way...all we ask is to make sure breedings are planned and
    well received. remember it's all about the betterment proccess,..so
    do our breed justice. thats all this community asks. you'll find out
    soon enough puppies aren't that cute after you become mom...they're a pita! lol

    No doubt it was a planned breeding and it was for a purpose im not going to explane that puropse because some hick wants to talk trash but yes it is my first litter and yes i want to learn all i can about breeding that includes trial and error i had that explaned to me on this board you learn more that way i like this forum cuz noone talks shit about you wanting to learn to breed i know the older guys mean well and passion clouds there thinking sometimes hell it does mine to if the old school guys want to help instead of talkin shit they need to educate once again thanx for the info padlock

    Four to five weeks is I believe pretty normal.....as for the exotic fish lest leave them out of this y'all, lol. They are a pretty good hobby. Maybe change out the exotic fish for pet rock? lol

    I like salt water fish salt tanks are real nice but if ima spend salt tank money then i want it to do something like hog hunt or pull a sled

    Between 4-5 five week old I separate them from mother during the day and start feeding then moist, soft food through out the day.... before you put momma with them at night makes sure to feed them, that way they are a full and they don't take much from the mother during the nights. Do this through out the next couple days gradually decreasing mothers time with the pups...that way the pups are weaned off mother and (what most poeple forget) is that mother and her tits are weaned from the pups as well! Allowing the mother's body to absorb back the milk and stop production gradually helps to prevent mastitis and nasty saggy boobs after!

    Salt water is pretty cool, but I think I am gonna stick with freshwater stuff....might dabble in saltwater someday, we shall see. Just getting started really so I don't know enough to feel comfortable tackling a saltwater set up. A lot of really cool options with freshwater too though.

    There is some good fresh water options i like the salt water stuff because the colors are more vibrant there are some fresh water fish tha are vibrant but they cost but overall fresh water is way way cheaper then the salty tanks

    hey im stating the obvious, if it hurts your feelers get some thick skin.

    i agree filth, exotic fish may be too advanced for the simple minded. a pet rock is much better.

    lol i dont need to justify shit, the fact that this thread even exists is clear enough.
