Today the one who appears to be black but is really a tri-coloured climbed out of the whelping box. So, by myself, I got the xpens ready and took out the whelping boxes. At first I just intended on doing Cinnamons but Ella was rather miffed and kept going to Cinnamons, looking at me and then going to her own. She was agitated till I did the same to hers. LOL
How did the puppies do? They needed the room and with one climbing out, it was time. Usually we do this at 3 weeks or when we have an escape artist.
It has many benefits and some drawbacks. The puppies have more room to get walking. They get exposed to outside their pen. You can add toys and not have them so crowded. You can also add a crate, pillows and a variety of things to expose them to. The negative is they have far to go to feed if they happen to be across the pen but this also helps them get mobile. They will be fine.
Be sure to check out the videos.
A brand new world is revealed to them and they are going to love it!
