pens I have used playpens...I put a piece of vinyl on the floor, pad for mom, plastic bin type bed for mom and pups..mom can get out and potty, after a week, my moms like a small bed next to the box so they can get away for reat when pups are sleeping. I do not confine my bitches with pups in a pen so small there is no rest area for mom..
I stopped using mesh type pens when the pups started walking..nails get caught in mesh..hard to keep clean..so I bought 3x3 Central Metal pens and used the same Rubber Maid bins for beds..a vinyl floor until pups were old enough to stand on a toy grate and use pads in the corner...good luck |
