By doing it this way I do not have to worry about the momma digging up the bedding and having a puppy get lost or tangled up. I just put a small fleece blanket in the box with momma and the babies. Before I started using the bottomless boxes I was always getting woke up to babies crying in the middle of the night because they were trapped in the bedding. Now I don't have to worry about that.
I have the whelping box inside a x-pen so mom has plenty of room to get out, eat, drink and use the potty pads.
Here is a picture of one that my husband made. It is not really pretty but it sure works great. |
What a great idea! How big is it?
