Okay, so I went through a similar thing when I first got my dogs (we got my first lot of 5 puppies when they were only 4 weeks old, the second lot of 4 when they were just over 2 weeks old and the last two lots were 4 weeks as well). The first lot of 5 were potty trained really quickly and learned to go on newspaper placed in the corner of the room. Great, right? Except that when the boys would get up to go pee, the girls would wake up as well, and CHARGE after them and start... well... sucking on them... I suppose it felt like a teat to them, I don't know. All the other pups sort of did this for a while, which I could understand since they were so young and were being fed with a dropper and all. It became a standing joke with us though, because if you didn't stop the girls, the boys would wind up with these huge (and I do mean HUGE for their size) erections. So every once in a while one of us would hear these loud, frantic sucking noises and jump up screaming, "puppy porn puppy porn!" and go rescue whichever poor boy was being violated at that point.
Sorry for the overly long explanation, but here is my problem - my new lot of 7 puppies (age 18 days) are starting to do the same thing - they'll feed off their mom just fine, but once in a while we'll hear these "pach pach pach" noises and they'll be sucking on each other. Is this normal behaviour? If not, how do I stop it? Thanks much and sorry for the graphic description - I don't know how else to describe it!!
