I agree with Peg, At two weeks is when I start supplementing. I also used baby cereal, the only thing I would ad to what Peg posted is, that all of my brood bitches also wanted to help the little ones finish the baby cereal gruel. I would put her out while I was cleaning the litter box, and keep the pups busy eating on one end of the box, while I the cleaned the opposite end. Around three weeks, they started on lean ground beef made into miniature meat balls, and heated to body temperature.
