Question

So,how exacly do I wean them and how do I make sure they r eating solid food by weaning time?

P.S.  The weaning date is July 11,2009


Answer
Dear Rose,

You don't have to do anything.  They can leave their mom at 3 1/2 weeks. They will figure it out.

Do you mean August 11?  I'm confused about the date you mention.

I'm happy Oreo's babies are doing well.  I hope you have homes for them all.  Remember, the girls are sexually mature at 4 1/2 weeks, so they will need to be separated from the boys then.
