| I let mine out as soon as they start walking. Usually around 3 1/2 to 4 weeks. Have my pups setup in a x-pen but I put a board across one end so mom can escape the pups when she wants to. |

BANNED! | I let mine out as soon as they start to try to climb out which is usually 3 weeks approx. I have an x-pen set up by this time and they can run and play in there. I put bumper pads around the inside botom of the x-pen so the puppies can't hurt themselves. Once they are older and start chewing on the bumper pad we remove it. Mom can jump the divider to get away from the pups when she wants too and eat, rest and relax in peace. Everyone seems happy with this set up here. |

♥My Lil' Monkey Girl♥ Donating Member | Thank you all for the complements. Also i had a question that maybe someone could help me with. I heard there was way to tell by color of eyes if they would be silky or cottony is this true if so what colors means what? Just wondering what they four will become. As mom is more cottony but feels a little silky and dad was silky. Thanks!

| Oh you are so sweet! I am at work and that just put a permanent smile on my face! Well, hmmm. I am thinking a boy. Id have to check with the big guy because he loves his little "girl dog" (as he calls her). That would be great. I was actually planning on charging the same way you do for Chloes pups too - just to cover her pregnancy costs, shots, etc. Oh! I am excited. Those little ones are so freakin adorable. You also have to keep us posted about the beds. (and I say "us" because I remember many people talking about Bailey's bed). We are all anticipating those beds going on the "market."

| mine stay in until they are able to crawl out. UNLESS, I see that one is always out curled up with mama and the others are in the box away from her. At that point to make sure they all get to nurse, I move the whelping box out and make mama's space a little smaller so she can't get completely away from them. This is the stage where you really have to notice how much they are eating because some will be able to "catch' mama while the smaller, short legged ones won't. |
