Hi all, so baby is now 3 days old, feeding on milk too and learning to nibble on sweet peppers and hay in particular. My question is what kind of daily weight gain should I be looking for? Pup was born quite in the thin side and although seem to be filling out I want to keep tabs on weight progress.

Mother, Chilly, doesn't drink? Ever! I'm almost sure if she ever drinks its only at night! And I dought it. I make her vegies wet but I just don't feel it's enough...

She is still her active self and not showing any troubling signs so should I just leave her to it assuming she knows what she's doing or should I intervene?

One more question, I have looked around for info on making home made pellets but it seems to be that I have found everything not really FOR doing this, any opinions on this? I live in Cyprus and they only have a mix with pellets (corn and other things mixed in) which is supposed to be great and nutritious but I was trying to steer clear and just have a pellet only but I'm not really happy with the pellet! I forgot the name and I through out the bag because I transferred it to an airtight container but I'm just not liking it! Any thoughts?
