i used a whelping box with heat pad last time and i found it very good?
do you agree ?
do you use one ?

We have one of the disposable whelping boxs and heating pad although they havent been near pad for a while as they just huddle together

i made my own whelping box out of pine to match my decor

didnt need heat pads at all coz i had summer babys and the wether was boiling so i had a fan on instead lol.

did the trick till they was about 6 weeks old and then they discuvered how to climb over it the sods it was then i decided to house train them all on paper, they was brilliant...they all slept in a dog bed in my living room and wen they woke up they went straight to the paper...very good babys indeed....the litter be4 them wasnt tho pmsl, they was holigons

I always have one made from a Bedpan Cardboard Box from place of work They are warm and throw away when finished with it

We have a whelping box with pig rails and a infra red lamp and also a whelping pen with pig rails, tried a heat pad but they didnt like it.

I am going to make one tomorrow with a strong large cardboard box and I have some old pine wood which I am going to use for rails. Hopefully its going to be hot but just in case I am going to have at hand microwave heat pads. I hope I'm not to late with it only a week and a couple of days to go!

We only had ours 9 days before and got her use to being in it at her own pace...........she'd get in turn round and walk out!!! Once she started contracting though she got in as if she knew what it was for.
