I use puppy ID tags around their necks....never had any problem with them....I dont use yarn, as I did have issues with puppy nails getting caught in the yarn....I ordered colored ID tags, but since you dont have that, I would just use that white bandage tape...take a piece about 8 inches long, and 1 inch wide....fold the tape in half, lengthwise, so the sticky sides are stuck together. Now cut that 1/2 in wide strip right down the middle, so you have (2) 1/4 inch wide strips, 8 inches long. Put it around the babys neck, overlaping the tape, and put a piece of tape under and fold it up over the strip, securing the strip like a little collar on babys neck. Use a marker to put one large dot on the "collar". Do the same thing with the other 5, putting the correct # of dots on each collar, 1-6. Or you could use a different color dot for each collar....or if you can write that small, # each baby 1-6..... You only want there to be enough space between the baby's neck and the collar for you to get one finger inder the collar. Momma wont fool with the collars....at least, I have never had one mess with them. Take the baby in another room so she cant hear it crying as you work to put the "collar" on.....When I take a puppy out, I use "slight of hand, and draw her attention to one particular puppy that I fool with using my right hand, while I remove a baby with my left hand....
