What do you use to distinguish between puppies when recording weights as they grow? Do you read the microchip each time you weigh? I don't have a reader and have not chipped the puppies yet. Do you chip them right away?
I have yarn around mine. I change it every few days so that it never gets too tight or too loose. I had a soft velcro in different colors that I was going to use, but I didn't have 5 colors so I used the yarn this time. I would like a better method than the yarn. But why is it so bad? I am feeling like I shouldn't even be admitting to the yarn. But seriously, I would never do anything to hurt these precious little ones!
I would never use zip ties though -- they would not give at all if they got caught on something and just the hard plastic seems like it would be terribly uncomfortable and might rub them raw.
