I have read that kits will start showing an interest in solids at around 2/3wks and be weaned off mum by the time they are 6/8wks.
So my question is do I have to do anything to help with the weaning process?
Can the kits have the same food as mum? (She has Burgess Excel)
Will the babies need a bowl of water or will they be ok with a bottle?
At what point do I have to clean the nest area? I have read differeing views on this from total clean out at 3wks to a gradual sorting through at 2 weeks to just leave it alone till they stop using it! Which is the best advice?
Sorry for so many questions but I just want to do the best for them.
Thanks
