How to wean a puppy
If all goes well, a litter of puppies will be breast-fed happily until about 3 to 5 weeks. During this period, in addition to the bitch's milk, you can also supplement some other food. At the same time, the puppy can learn to lick food from a shallow dish. In doing so, it can avoid the impact on the growth of puppies due to the reduction of mother's milk, and also reduce the milk production of bitches naturally.
The first step in weaning the puppy is to heat the baby cereal milk into a liquid mixture, dip a little on the end of the finger or teaspoon handle and put it into each puppy's mouth. After feeding the mixture to the puppy in this way, put the mixture in a shallow dish twice a day and place it in the puppy pen. In the first week, puppies will crawl over their meals, so they need to be scrubbed clean after feeding. Any bit of milk or food left on the skin can cause dermatitis or depilation. The bitch is usually isolated when feeding so as not to disturb her too much.
When feeding solid food to puppies for the first time, bone meal should be added to supplement calcium. If the puppy is more than 3 weeks old, it can be fed directly with ground raw beef and bone meal.
In addition, specially prepared canned dog food can be used alternately. Even canned whole meat adult dog food is more nutritionally balanced than fresh meat. However, no matter what kind of canned food you choose, it must be carefully ground to make canned meat easier for puppies to eat. Pour in a small amount of hot water (less than 10%), break it with a knife, and then feed the puppy. When the amount of milk that the bitch can provide is reduced, it is necessary to give the puppy more artificial feeding.
If the bitch still has enough milk to raise the puppy, there is no need to be in too much of a hurry to wean a litter of puppies.

Preparation method of bee feed
Non-polluting alternative raw materials are selected to make bee feed as follows: 1. Sucrose (white sugar) is used to make substitute feed. The white syrup can be used to feed the bees directly, and the appropriate use time is: when overwintering, sucrose should be stopped 3 days before the last batch of lids leave the room. The advantage of this is that the overwintering feed in the nest has been transformed, but the overwintering age bees did not participate in making honey, so it can maintain the activity and energy of bees and prolong the life span of bees. two。 Syrup is used to make alternative feed. Added by sucrose (brown sugar cannot be used, the same below)
