The pic is of her whelping tote (got a large tote, installed a pig rail utilizing 1 1/2 inch pvc 2 1/4 inches from bottom of the tote to the bottom of rail. You can see the puppy box to the right of the tote where I put puppies to be safe when she was having another. Big thank you to Judy (lady of rose hill) for all her suggestions, Carmen from NJ and many others. Took a concentrated effort to get up to speed for a whelp, reading books, exchanging with experienced breeders. Probably bought more than I needed to buy (as evidenced by the tower of supplies to the right), but better to have than need at 4 in the morning was my thought train. Again thanks to many for their concerned comments about Bonney and puppies. |
So congrats on your safe delivery hoping everyone is doing great.
I am lost and must confess I don't have enough imagination power to understand the "pig rail" concept. Is there an opening on the front side of the big tote? What is he rail for?
Once again congrats and hope everyone is doing fine.
Thanks
