    What are you feeding them, and how are you stimulating? Massaging their tummies is usually the way to make that happen.

    Actually, massaging their tummies isn't the way to go. A warm wet cloth, and rub their bums gently. That's how a mother dog stimulates a bowel movement, by licking the anus of the puppies.

    Are you feeding them puppy formula?
