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. Attachment 140757 |
Hi I'm new at this we have 3 week old pups. I just moved them today from whelping box. They are now in xpen - my question is how do I get them to use pee pads?
In xpen I have puppy bed and a separate bed for mom. When should I add pee pads?
Thanks
