Default Re: Mother's rough handling and loud squeaks from pups!

Yes it is normal for mum to carry them back by whatever she can grab first! They are usually fine and it is bad luck if one gets hurt but it is an instinct and a good mother will attempt to carry them back at first. This usually wears off in a few days as she cannot keep up with them! If they are comig out they will be getting hungry so keep providing the small seed and veggies. A little porridge or babyfood is enjoyed as well. The pups will become more vocal as well as they tussle and argue over food and also over the milk bar! Again this is to be expected and is a leaning experience for them yoo.
