Our whelping box (how it is made)
We have had people ask about our
box. Click on the thumbnails below to
see assembly
We use a 10 panel exercise pen around
the box. 10 panels fits around it like a glove.
Note: we don't use a pig rail, so if you do, that will
have to be factored in.
See images below
these thumbnails to see the box in use
Whelping box in use during delivery (note rugs and
equipment on one side of the box)
The "resting area" is cleared of equipment after
delivery
to allow the mother a place to go and rest.
(note: earlier prototype did not have a drop down
door, which I prefer)
Box shown without the divider to allow puppies (and
the cat) to play in more area
shown with divider out (usually the exercise pen is
closed to keep mom in)
We kept the drop-down door down for mom to get out
easily.
This is what happens if you don't put it back
up.... <grin>
JAIL BREAK!!!
