We too got up when the pups whined; but not on a timed schedule (when their behaviors indicated they needed to go out). The litters we’ve raised were eating only 3xs a day by 8weeks.
I’ve never changed a diaper.
I never got up on a timed schedule either, like I said when the pup whined I would spring up and we would go outside. I didn't have to do this very long before they would go outside on there own when they got a little bigger. I had to keep the dog door closed because they were so small at first they could go between the gate and fence like it wasn't there. It's difficult to even imagine Sawyer was so small. Now he's about 90# and strong as a horse. Sasha is only around 60#.
