Thanks for you observation sir,
Whelping box has different design for different purpose, mine was designed in a way that the puppies are confined in their space with a stick as a barricade. Tho their mum would have access to them but she won't be able to sleep their because of the small space which would prevent her from crushing them.
When its time to feed we transfer the puppies to their mum and transfer them back after feeding.
Thanks for checking on bear's diary.

Yeah I get your thoughts, but then with your design, feeding would be on your own schedule rather than on the pups demand, right?

Hello, my puppies already dropped, Bear's should be anytime soon

Yes sir, it is going to be at 2hours interval

I really don't get your explanation but kindly remember to show us pictures of how it works when she whelps.

OK sir

Waow
Congrat boss
How many are they?
And how are they doing?

Bear has been so restless and panting heavily, I belief her delivery is few hours away.
I introduced her to her box this evening, but she has really lost her appetite.

I got this newspaper for bear so she can read when she is bored

Oh I see, but that would be so much work, don't you think? Are you going to be feeding 2hrly all night long as well?

I feel it's actually a good plan if he can keep up to it, one would be able to monitor d pups closely ND mom won't choke dem

Was just thinking aloud ...my guess is the pups will also need to feed at night abi?

The way I see it, that plan is doable only if the doer is gonna be doing that full time (has no other engagements) or has a helper. And the doer should also be ready to skip sleeping for several days or weeks, because the pups will also need to feed at night or they'll be raising hell all night long!

For me, I'd prefer a whelping box that's safe enough for the dam to be with the pups so they can feed on demand, and I can then supplement their feeds if necessary.

Just my thoughts though!

You are right, personally I cannot do dt style, but I can speak from experience that a times such whelping box dt pups easily has access to mom, especially if small, the mom can suffocate some of the pups if its a large litter, I had a neo dt littered 13 pups, 12 survived, but she later suffocated 4, we tried to mk sure all pups were fed with supplements, I need to give kudos to d mom, she tried cos I couldn't keep up wit d supplement, she single handedly took care of d pups, despite the weight of a neo, she was so gentle, with each pup dt died, she learnt more how to take care of the rest. All I did sometimes wen am free was to occasionally separate dem

That is precisely why they put those side rails, to prevent or at least reduce the risk of such cases of suffocation.

Puppies arriving soon!!!!

OK, I just thought abt how d side rail could work, ND u right, even when d mom is resting on d wall, d pups could be under d rail behind her

Arrived already sir

Puppy show, you no update again.

Arrived already sir

I have been down with malaria so I couldn't stay with bear all through.
I woked up around 2.30am today with a burning temperature, I managed to check on bear and I discovered she has whelped 5 healthy puppies (male).
So I kept on checking on her every 20mins but she didn't littered again till after 4 which was a big puppy but was dead on arrival. Within 10min she gave birth to another puppy but was dead on arrival.
I went to the hospital by 8am and had someone checking on her, at exactly 12 she gave birth to another dead puppy.
I got home around 3 and I met another dead puppy beside her .
So bear is left with 5 alpha males
