They look to be Golden, Golden tort and ?Golden tort and white from what I can see in those pics. What colour is the mum? Some of those pups might be long haired as well. Very cute.

Give her loads of supplements to try keep her fit and healthy - baby food without onion or garlic in it is good, as well as porridge cooked in water (I put mine in a ceramic dish in the microwave for about 20 seconds then leave it to cool before giving it to them). Seeds with good oils in are great (sunflower seeds are good) and fresh fruit and veg will be appreciated - but not too much as she may get unwell if she's not used to them, and also check before feeding as there are some things they just shouldn't eat like citrus or highly acidic foods, etc.

Chop any fresh food you give really small and she will take it into the nest and the babies will start to feed on it when they are ready. Really don't put too much though because you can't clean the cage until the babies are about two weeks old and leftovers could go bad and grow fungus/dodgy things that will not be good for her.

I've learned most of the above from other members here, you're in the best place to get help!

They are out and about eating solids and have either fresh food or protein food everyday in small amounts. They are being cleaned out the weekend as are almost 3 weeks now. I know the majority of what they can and can't have and always research before if I'm unsure xx

They were 5 days old when Kirsty rescued them! (Been talking with Kirsty since then, her rescue isn't at from me) and been giving advice and helping identify colours! But I wast sure with these pups, as I didn't think they could be torties from seeing the parents!

Kirsty really isn't far from me, and if that little girl is a white and golden tortie... I really want her... Haha :')
