I am pretty scared to tube feed because I am so afraid of not doing it right, but I will do anything... I want to get everything ready to pick them up tomorrow so any advice on what I will need will be helpful. I do have a whelping box that I can put a blanket over and it stays pretty warm with the blanket. |
As far as where to keep them. If you can a baby play pen off the ground or a puppy play pen. The whelping box will go inside the pen. You can then drape the pen with a blanket and no don't put a lid on the whelping box. Just make sure that make it soft a cuddly, but don't forget to secure blankets so the pups won't smother.
