Here is a picture of my whelping set up. For whelping, all I had in the pen was the bottom half of a travel crate to use as a whelping box. During whelping, I took my basket full of supplies and sat in the pen with her.

Once the babies were getting around at about 3 weeks, I made the divider and put it in the pen, creating three rooms. The smallest (rear left) was the sleeping area, the middle (front left) was the pee pad area, and the largest area 9right side) was for eating and playing. The Mom could get to all areas by jumping over the divider. I had another bed in the play area for mom so she could get away from the puppies, but still be close by.

I closed off the play area at first,until the puppies learned to use the pee pad, after that they were able to go to all the areas, and it worked just like I had planned it. they had theuir own little apartment.
