Pups and mommy Can I leave them together in a crate while at wor and up till what age? Any suggestions otherwise would be great. |
We leave mama in with her pups up to 3 weeks normal... after 3wks we have a small table with a pad on it.. that she can get up on.. to get a break from pups... we do that till 5 weeks.. now we cage them apart... I dont work.. but we do this while gone somewhere.. and at night....I would think on lunch break.. you might want to run over and let them feed for a bit... till 6wks. :aimeeyork |
feeding I put the mom with the whelping box in a excercise pen and a board 1/2 up the door so she can come and go. I do this till they are 5-6 weeks old then it letting her in when she wants . morning and night . My yorkies are in the house with us so it my make a diferance how you do it |
there's a few different things you could do depending on the space you have in the room they're kept in. you can put them in a child's plastic swimming pool until they are about 4-5 wks. mom can get in and out of this without any problems. or you could use a play yard (white plastic kind for babies) and put another plastic or wood whelp box in the play yard, then make the other side the mom's area. put her some piddle pads or paper down and her food bowls. this way she can go in the box with the babies and get out when she wants to, to pee pee or eat and still be confined to the area her babies are in while you're gone. i've done all sorts of things. |
