foxdropper 17,091 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 The days of getting hold of newspapers by the truck full are sadly gone .Used to use shredded newspaper for bedding and whole sheets under bowls etc .Roll the lot up and burn .Don’t use straw as the pups will eat it resulting in vet bills and possible dead pups and that’s from experience .Like Sean said rags ,towels old bedding anything washable . Large pet beds are reasonable now ,buying a few could rotate them .I guess dependant on external heat source . 2 Quote Link to post

chrisbullx 2,541 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Yes I agree with nothernlite u won’t beat vet bedding seen a good few pups get stuck under towels & can’t get back out suffocate & get crushed,then shavings & straw stuck in pups mouths so I always u use vet bed or good heavy carpet atb cbx 2 Quote Link to post

SheepChaser 8,082 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Get three pieces of vet bed that fit the whelping box, and then you have one under them, one in the wash and one dried and ready to go. Makes the job easy, just change daily, chuck dirty in wash, put clean in and have one drying. 1 Quote Link to post

ferret333 709 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 When I had a litter couple of year back, they were on vet bed for about 3 weeks and then moved them on to a white tissue paper bedding when they started weeing and pooping alot more. Quote Link to post
