4 Weeks Old

You know how Roxie is a picky eater? Dennis came up with what he was doing at night. He feeds all 3 moms outside of the xpens on a regular basis and Panda always waits for Roxie to walk away. It seems Roxie is now a better eater after that happened. Good motivating Panda. :-0 Besides soon the pups can't have their moms food in their pens so this works great. They can choke on Mom's food.
On their 4th week birthday the crew had food for the first time and got to walk outside of the xpen.
The pups are starting to get tearing as they have teeth coming in. This always happens and then it dries out. Teeth coming in is stress-filled and sore so their eyes do get watery. You will notice when a tooth pokes through and no others are near the surface suddenly the eyes dry up again. It also seems that Spice's pups are getting teeth but not Panda's yet. Lucky Panda. Teeth can hurt when feeding. That is why the introduction of food is so important.
We will try this once a day till all are eating well and then go up to twice a day. Water also has to be introduced but for now they are getting enough water from mom.

Just adorable! I can't believe how much they have grown in the past few weeks! They look so cuddly!
The Spice pup sure is a chow hound! lol.
For just 3 weeks you would think he was 4 weeks too!
Adorable! They are growing so fast and I am still amazed that the Spice pup just fits right in!
I actually think due to the others the Spice boy has improved his skills trying to keep up. He is still not as good on his legs as them but he is improving quickly. It goes to show you that they do learn by others and they do get motivated by others. It may be good to get all of them out in the hall together. I expect that there won't be the immense interaction at first but the conditioning will be good for them. Roxie's pups can run now. Amazing what happens in a couple of days.
