You need to feed them some formula, probably a powdered Esbilac formula. Feed them in 2-3 hours or six to eight times a day. As the puppies are very young I would recommend that you discuss their diet with a vet. Good Luck.

I too just bought a puppy! My vet said that you should feed it 3 times a day, just like you should eat. Make sure it is puppy food, others are too harsh for the puppy's system! Keep them on puppy food for at least a year! And let the puppy eat as much as he wants for 15 minutes, after 15 mins pick up food until next feeding! Good luck! Make sure you take the puppy outside like 20 mins afters feeding to go potty, also as soon as he wakes up take him out right away this will help with potty training. Our puppy is nine weeks old and asks to go outside already!

How old are they? Telling the AGE would help tremendously.
If they are younger than 5 weeks of age, they need to be bottled feed, almost constantly. I suggest you research ASAP or get a Vet or someone experienced w/ animal care to help you, this is not a task easily done on one's own w/o research, as young puppies need AROUND the clock care.
If they are older than 5 weeks of age, I'd start them on soft wet dog food and gradually move up to softened kibble w/ water.

aww, i feel so sorry for you (MY GSD died last year)! so first talk to a vet and ask him what should be done, as the puppies need mommy's milk. Generally milk (fresh, properly boiled and cooled to room temp. should be fine), but please talk to your vet first.

You need to give them formula. I would contact another breeder and ask them.
