Welcome to YT and congrats on the new pups. Its good to hear that mamma is doing better and tending to her litter. Sometimes I think we skin mamma worry more than the furry ones.
For tagging I use needle point string that I bundle into three or four strands to make it thicker than I tie it in knots along the entire length about an inch or so apart to make to it does not unravel. Its gets dirty and plus they out grow it so fast so it works great. You have plenty to use and change out when needed. Be sure to that you dont tie it too tight and tie at least 3 knots.
