Yes, exactly what bjh said; I think an x-pen is a must. Mine is always set up much the same. I use an under the bed storage box for mom & pups which takes up a good portion of one side of the 4x4 pen. The other half I have always placed a piece of carpet remnant big enough to cover it. That is for "just in case" a pup should get drug out, it would not be left on the cold floor. The first few weeks I sleep in that spare room with mom & pups until I know they can retain their body heat and are doing well. The box is replaced with a doggie bed at about 4 weeks old....or when I notice that they are climbing out of the box, ready to explore!. |
