several times a day, almost constantly near mom
Sometimes these little dogs blood sugar dips too low and they die. Rub some cornsyrup or sugar water on his gums to bring up his blood sugar and help stimulate him to feed if he isn't. It is a common problem.

I hope they are still nursing from their mama. She will usually feed them every hour or two. If you are raising them on a bottle, they should be fed puppy formula at least every 2 hours, day and night. They are very fragile and can qiockly become hypoglycemic.

They should be nursing from their mother. Are you supplementing them? If so, Nurturall is an excellent formula. Get the liquid if it's available. It is the best one I've used. They should be fed about ever four hours.

Every 2 hours if you are feeding them, whenever they feel like it they are w/ their mom.

Nursing as often as they want from their mother. If hand raising, then every 4 hours approx.

I'm sure if you rang a good vet they would probably tell you over the phone.
