If your answer is yes to those questions , a helpfull sugestion an old coonhunter give me might be worth you considering . Please don't think I'm being judgemental . Just some good advice I got some time ago . Build or buy a box that opens from the top , take either 2x4s or 1" pvc pipe and place it around the inside of the box about 1/2 " from the floor . I have used this several times and never lost a pup due to momma lyeing on them .
This may or maynot be your case , friendly words of advice . Good luck with the rest of your pups
I appreciate that Mike. I know I need to build something like that, just hadn't got it done yet.
I'll try and get a whelping box built before I raise another littler of puppies.
