Well, I only have 1 litter to go by, but I'll comment anyway. It was evident when Trixie was about 1/2 way through her term that she wanted nothing to do w/ Flash except to eat her head off. So we kept them separated unless we were right there, holding and petting them both and they were calm. (She actually in the past few weeks has just now gotten back to where she likes her again.)
About 1 1/2 wks before her whelp date, we put her box down for her and pretty much just let her come and go as she please, except if there were people over or Taylor was playing outside of in her room. She stayed right by my side--watching TV, when I was taking a shower, ALL THE TIME--during this 1 1/2 weeks, but didn't really care to be by herself until about 2 days before she whelped and we would have to literally drag her out of her box and carry her outside to go potty. Once she was done, she beelined for the box again. |
