and the other mom is in a xl crate..we were thinking of placing locks on that..but i think they will need more space..maybe not the xl crate puppies but the small crate puppies will
where do you put yours...
i like the xpens wire and plastic but im thinking they will move too easily...??
any thoughts, ideas, suggestions..pics?

I've whelped pups in a 3x3 puppy play pen, pupps are kept off the floor and they stay there until 8 weeks of age. I line the bottom, with exercise squares (for pups sure footing when they begin to walk) and piddle pads are on top of those. It's easy to keep sanitary and clean.. It is kept in my bedroom, has a cover to keep those prying eyes away from the litter (my moms are very protective of anyone looking at their Pups ....when it comes time to place them on the floor, after their first shots. I have now switched to a crib, sides and floor are completely lined with plexi-glass and a top that is slatted and latches....I line the bottom with pish pads, whelping box is on one side....a slot on one side for water bottle. I love it, high enough for me for easy assitance in whelping...and easy to keep very sanitary. Plenty of room for mom to get away
I have a huge x-pen (canvas with a zippered top and bottom, purchased on e-bay....I place pads and beds, water and food). Great amount of room for pups to run in and mom to keep a watchful eye on them.....
