I have a 7weeks old pomchi recently from a breeder.
Understand that 7weeks is not the ideal age to bring him back home and it is not by choice, the mama of the puppies and the breeder will be migrating to another country. Therefore we will have to take it earlier. But I have 2 question that has been bothering me.
I had him for only 5days as of today. During the first two days, he did not really eat or drink as we understand that he is still not familiarized with the new environment.
On the third day, he was doing good! He is eating from the bowl without being hand feed. Yesterday(fourth day), he suddenly refuses to eat or drink. He still has a lot of energy to play with us during play time. He poops twice a day and pee regularly.
Today he still does not eat his meals regularly, skip breakfast and lunch. bought him to the kitchen to have his meals instead of his crate. And surprisingly he eats on plates instead of a bowl. Is he being choosy and picky about the food and bowls? I am currently changing his food, where I mixed a little of his previous one and the new one.
Another question is:
He wakes up in the morning 5:20 am whining to be out of the crate (he has been like this for the past 4 days but before that we just want him to be reassured that he is not being abandoned)
It becomes a habit for him. We are currently trying to crate train him, letting him whine thinking he will stop after mins. Turns out he did not. And my mom went over to reassure him again this time we did not carry him out. Because if we let him out he will know "when I cry, mama will let me out".
Please let me know how am I going to train him well.
Thank you.
