You might want to think about giving them a little more room. Here is a picture of my setup I had for some 4 1/2 week old pups. Mom can go in out of the puppy area and not be trapped |
The set up you have looks almost like the same size as my box. the box I have is 4 feet long and 3 feet across. We also bring them downstairs and let them roam around little out of the box, when there is not much going on.
Have you ever seen this where their legs stick out like two sticks? I can bend them and she doesn't whine. I went home at lunch and tried to get her to stand on them but she doesn't, she just sits there. She walks great with her front.
