Wow, really young at 1 month. Plenty of info on the web regarding taking care of puppies. Expect lots of noise at night, things in the house tore up etc, read the tips online about raising a puppy and don't be discouraged with slow progress regarding getting the dog to sleep all night or becoming housebroken.
Not sure if you are doing so already but you might need to supplement the food with a puppy formula that provides the same nutrients as the moms milk.

Oh ya, Huskies tend to be stubborn but super energetic and focused.

4 weeks is very early to separate a pup from it's mother. I'd do some research on that.

Most breeders typically won't allow you to take a pup home until they're 12 weeks old.

On another note, you've got a great looking dog there and I wish you luck with it.

well feeding her twice a day is a good start. make sure she has water. i'd watch her as far as chewing things. my dog chewed everything he could get his teeth on. take her to the vet at some point .
dogs really don't require much . just food , water, attention, and if it's hot where you are keep her out of the sun, or inside.

Love it, feed it, teach it to go outside. Thats about it. We have 5

First step is to take it to a vet for a check up. Ask the vet for suggested food for that young. I'd crate train. And take outdoors often to start house training. At one month it will be going to the bathroom very often.

A big crate with a small low divider will help divide it's bedroom from the bathroom. Put newspaper in one end and blankets in the other. That will let you sleep through the night, if it needs to go it can just use the paper. Then after a while, start removing the paper and just make the crate a bedroom.

Huskys are pack and den dogs. They do great with crates if done right, it will learn to use it as it's den. Being a pack dog, it will want to be by your side constantly.

Vet ASAP to make sure you have your proper vaccinations (parvo, heart warm, etc.)....at 4 weeks (are you sure?) you should have had one round and another at about 9 weeks...then another. Preventing these is inexpensive and part of pet ownership.

Crate train to assist housetraining. Very easy and effective.

Chew toys

QUALITY puppy food.

Really cute pup...Enjoy!!
