I cover the entire x-pen with sheets and bedding. I have the x-pen setup where momma can go in and out. I have attached a picture of the setup I use starting when the pups are around 4 weeks old. As they get older I move the board to give them more room.
Is that dive weights that you are using to hold the pad down? My DH is home with my puppies 27/7 and he wants to use dive weights to hold the pads down but I was afraid because of them being lead.
