Do any of the breeders here use rail kits in whelping boxes? I have seen some on EBay and wondered if they are needed. If you do use them what are yours made of.

Thanks

I've seen them and I've heard of them but I do not use them. It helps moms from squishing the pups against the walls of the box.

I have never found them to be needed...I do not find my moms tend to lay on their pups..and when one gets pushed against moms back they can wiggle out quite easily. The slightest squeal snaps mom to attention and she moves.
