The behavior of the puppies only changes a little at the age of ten days. They are now twice the size they were when they were born and are still completely black. When sucking a teat, press their front paws firmly against the mother's abdominal wall. Now they all lie together sometimes for a long time, without getting cold, because they can now maintain their body temperature on their own. That's important too, because the mother leaves the den more and more often and rests somewhere outside from the puppies. But she is not yet hunting herself, but continues to be taken care of by the other wolves.
When they aren't on the road, they sometimes jostle at the cave entrance, listen in, whimper and try, to crawl in too. Then they reckoned again without the mother. Immediately she is there and angrily bites everyone, who should keep trying, to get close to the puppies. It is, like she doesn't trust anyone yet, not even the father.
When the puppies are almost two weeks old, open to the first
Paint her eyes. The fine line in the head fur widens more and more and then you can see a still quite cloudy one, light blue eye. Perhaps the puppies can already distinguish between very light and very dark, but they are still a long way from recognizing figures and movements. They can also hear very loud noises with their small ears, but still no normal loud sounds.
A few days later the puppies start crawling around. They crawl into the nooks and crannies of the cave, climb over the nut, bite them too, as tight as they can without teeth, in the ear or in the tail. And roll around and climb over each other. Then your ears prick up, first the one, then, one day later, the other. Gradually, the little "sausages" begin to look like real wolf pups – and behave like one. Small sharp teeth break in the upper- and lower jaw through. So they can bite into their siblings' fur. The result is a loud scream from the victim and an equally powerful defensive bite. There are now more and more frequent short scuffles between omitted games.
