Are there any things I should be concerned about regarding this little boy?
Mulligan is his name He is crying, crawling and nursing just fine at 36 hours of age. Secondly, Mamma Molly is doing something she did not do with her 1st litter She is dragging or carrying one pup at a time all over even took one out to porch! Any ideas why she is doing this? I am concerned about hypothermia and how to prevent her from "losing" them.
Thank you all We now are

I would probably confine her by placing the whelping box inside an ex-pen. If she removes them from the whelping box, she at least can't get them too far. They cannot regulate body temp so you could lose them quickly if she is not keeping them warm/together. She might be looking for a quieter spot?
