I just got my first pets of my entire life. I bought me two beautiful Maltese. They are only 4 weeks old. I am in love with these two. My puppies are so tiny

Hi Yuri
Do you have these babies with you yet or are they still with their mum.Hopefully they are still with mum.they really should be between 8 to 10 weeks old before leaving mum.Anyway that's what I did when I was breeding my Yorkies. You enjoy your babies and I am sure on this site you will gain heaps of knowledge about how to care for them.I have already |

Hi and welcome! I have a Leila too! She just turned 5 months old. How do you pronounce yours? We pronounce my Leila like Layla...like the lei you wear around your neck in Hawaii, haha. It was my great-grandmother's name and my favorite aunt's middle name.
Your babies are sooo cute!! I know they are tiny at that age. Do you already have them? If so, I'm curious why they aren't with their mother still. Luckily, you have them both and that should help with some of the problems that can happen when these babies are taken away too soon. They can snuggle together and help keep each other warm and they can teach each other about the "biting rules". You've come to a great place to learn how to raise your babies and I hope you enjoy it here. Have they been to the vet yet? Until they've complete all their Parvo vaccines, please be careful not to let them be put on the ground or even places like the counter at the vet's or take them to pet stores. |

Hi Yuri and welcome.
Your babies need a puppy pablum as they most likely can't eat kibble yet. I am hoping that Stacy or one of the show breeders will pm you with how to handle these precious babies. Why did the owner get rid of them at such critical age? Good luck as this won't be easy but you have help here. Glad you are here.

Hi yuri your babies are lovely but like others please be careful with them. Keep them warm they can't regulate their temperature yet. Just enjoy the snuggles. Please keep us updatedxx
