New Puppies........Just learning?

I have not been around puppies since I was a kid and I need to know a few things.

First I have gotten a kiddie pool that is hard and HUGE for the momma and her babies. Now I only have a few things to ask.

1. When do there cute eyes open?

2. At what age can I give them away/sell them?

I have everything ready for when they run around. I got a outside play gate that is HUGE I got 2 of them cause there are 9 puppies in all so I didnt want to have them run different ways to where it was more work on me as well as just letting a few out at a time (not a fun thought). I have gotten canned milk in case some puppies arent getting milk since the big ones push some out of the way. SO far all is going well and I have found a great way to get the runts to eat by waking them up when the bigger puppies (who push them away) are sleeping so all the babies are healthy. That took a bit but its working and the runts have caught up in weight now and they are almost 2 weeks old.

Thank You

    puppies usually open there eyes about 10 days old maybe abit longer and you can re-home them about 8 weeks.

    all your puppies will need to wormed around this age and have there first injection c4 or c5.

    use puppy milk not human milk as our milk could up set there tummies.

    Sounds like you are doing a brilliant job on puppy raising and have all the necessary things to keep mum and babies entertained.

    Job well done

    they will open thier eyes usually between 2 1/2 weeks and 3 1/2. and you can probably give them away after they have started to eat hard food.
