The noise has started 😅 and playtime too! They’re all finding the feet and their voices. An adorable but loud stage, earplugs at the ready 😂
Raven is still being an amazing mum, checking in every couple of hours to clean and feed them. She’s now eating about a kilo of food a day which is helping to produce lots of milk.
We are two weeks and a day old! Where has the time gone?!
The waddling has commenced 😝 this is always an adorable stage, seeing them getting up on their feet. Finding their voices as their ears and eyes open.
Raven is spending a little more time out of the box now, going in to feed every 2-3 hours. Only a little over a week until weaning begins 😅 always a messy business, but really does ease the burden on mum.
The milk bar is open! A nice long video of a feeding not long ago. This happens every hour and a half. Raven is still very much committed to giving the pups all the milk they need. Every one of them has doubled their birth weight, the last few being this morning. It’s great to see this by day 10!
In another few days we should start to see some eyes opening and then the waddling commences 😝
We are 1 week old today! 😄 Raven’s box of chocolates are all developing fabulously. They’re putting on loads of weight and are all set to double their birth weight within the next couple of days. As you can hear from the video, Raven lets her milk down for quite a while and even for a 2nd time! This always lets us know that the pups are getting enough which is such a relief.
Raven is spending a little more time out of the box now and is going about an hour between feeds, but still being the best mum we could hope for ❤️
Our first video update of many to come!
The pups are all doing amazing. We weigh them all morning and night to ensure that no one is missing out and every single one of them is having well above the expected gain per day which is fantastic! Raven clearly has lots of milk which is always a relief.
Raven continues to be an amazing mum, shuffling her body so everyone can get on with little help from us. Attentive as always and in very high spirits 😄 we’re so proud of her, she really is such a natural mum!
Just a little update for you all. Raven and her box of chocolates are doing fantastic. Raven is once again being the bestest mum ever. So attentive to every one of the pups and shuffling herself over so that they can all get on by themselves without needing us to pop them on 😝
All of the pups have had good weight gains and in line with expectations. They’re very content and relaxed, not too much noise from these little ones… yet! 😅
More updates to come!
