Curious Just curious..how do you mark your babies as they come out? Plastic tabs around the neck...colored string, etc...? :questione |
I use those little colored rope/strings when they're first born, but I take them off after a few days when I can tell more about them. I always know who's who because I watch them like a hawk...;) Also, it's not good to leave strings or ribbons on too long, because they grow like weeds....:eek: |
I write detailed descriptions of the markings--and add to them as they grow and change. I have the colored velcro collars--but worry about them strangling so I have never used them. |
Akc AKC does not require an ID until 6 months of age, last time I checked..I have never found the need to mark newborns... |
I have never put anything on mine to mark them. To dangerous. I also made descriptions and could always tell them apart. |
I've only need to use something one time. I used differing color fingernail polish on their bottom (or hip, above tail). They stood right out, when I needed to watch a certain one according to their weight, I could always identify them (besides size) and be sure they're on first. this was especially helpful when they're all eating and rooting around |
Thank you..I have heard of several different ways but have always thought about the what ifs. I have put so much research into whelping..but now I think I am second guessing myself on the things I know, if that makes sense. I am so anxious, nervous, excited....:p |
