Should I force-wean them? will mum not get sore teats? they are drinking a lot, she runs to pick them up and give them milk :wink:
Thanks for info, once I hear one wrong info from the vet, it makes me doubt all the rest of the info :evil:
I removed my boys at 4.5 weeks old from Mom. I have heard of force weaning in circumstances where mom needed to be medicated, or she was in poor condition. Make sure those babies have some baby formula mixed into some baby cereal for awhile to make the transition easier on their tummies, lots of veggies and regular food. Mom should dry out pretty quickly since she's close to it anyways.
At 4.5 weeks Bronny was trying to hide from her babies.
