"The" desperate housemum's week

[McBIRDY - Jean DUHANT]

Do you remember ? 16 babies from Jonola Dr. Doolittle x Frisbee of McBirdy ?.

After 3 weeks, Mum Frisbee seemed to say "I've made my own job, now it's your turn Mum Noëlla.
OK, I'm not a beginner, used to do that ! But with so many babies, it was not so easy !

First day, I tried with mash in several little plates, all together. OMG It's was a real battle !

Second day, one by one on my knees, because some are smaller than others. But it took me so long time !

Third day, I tried to give them pure beef meat in little portions in different little plates. OK It was good but cann't give them this every day !

Fourth day, groups of four babies, and one plate for each and a new dinner: cooked meat with rice from my butcher with liquid. They seemed to adore it so.

This morning, I used an old great plate, but it was not enough for such a team, so I took my own cooking material... and OK. You can see the result !

They have eaten almost all ! And also bathing in the plate !

After that, they were trembling and needed some drying and sleeping under the red light

They had left some food for Mum Frisbee. She is our new irish dishwasher ! Yes, she could do it !

In fact, I'm not so 'desperate housemum ! Everything is OK. I love them so !

OMG! What a lovely, sweet, happy mess! They must keep you on your toes. No wonder mum gave up feeding them ;-) Thanks for sharing these lovely photos.

I've been there too some weeks ago! The first days were a real mess! But they get used to eating from the plates really fast, that's what saves us :)
Keep up your good work, you have a lovely litter!

Yeah had similar problems with our pups, but we solved that by giving them Royal Canine Puppy Starter soaked for about 15 minutes in water. Problem solved. They loved it and they did well on it.

Hi Alenka ! we also give them Rc Puppy starter but the first days, in powder, and after there is no problem anymore ! The first days are so difficult !!! Thanks !

[Marta Galuszka]

Yes the first days of feeding are difficult - although I can't imagine how to feed 16 little pups. It must have been a really hard work... Amazing job you did and your little ones looks lovely:)

Oh My God that takes me back, not that far but it seems like a lifetime, I just went down the road of Royal Canin Puppy kibble, so much easier and just let them get on with it, a little bit of help for the smaller ones....This ''Puppy Wheel'' is getting popular, Reading some of the comments it seems Royal Canin is a great substitute for all that scraping I gave Tree Bark for digestion it helped...GOOD LUCK..I think that you will need 3 wheels????
