Re: Weaning babies
There are loads of things you can give the pups. They will wean themselves and are practically weaned now in fact. You should separate the boys from the others at 4 weeks of age. All they boys could go together and you can see how it works out. Just keep a close eye on them for fighting or bullying especially if they do not have dad to keep them in line. Mum can stay with her daughters and will likely keep them under control but again watch she does not get fed up with them. A group needs a fair sized cage though and multiple wheels and water bottles. Scatter feed them and don't have bowls.
Babies and mum enjoy the suggested foods of porridge ( we use readybrek actually!) babyfood, plain cooked chicken, tofu, cooked pasta or rice, boiled egg, mealworms, various veg (crumbed brocolli is popular) and other chopped veg and fruits.
