    Thank you for posting, it was a huge help. Our litter came yesterday and our dog was constantly laying on top of the pups. We were using a pool and I was able to build this in a half hour. It was so much safer.

    I followed your plan step by step, it works perfect. I built it for corgis if that helps anyones size comparison for their breed of dog. Thanks my friend. Good video. Let me add that i lowered the door for my corgi, we all know they have short legs. Lol

    Very nice! Momma dog showing up at the end of the video to test drive the finished product is a very nice touch. Looks like she approved your work of art.
    Why a rounded bottom door and not a straight edged door?

    • @BigRedButtonBuilder
      @BigRedButtonBuilder  Год назад +1

      I like that the rounded door has no corner to pinch pups. Plus it seems to line up better that way.

    What thickness would you use for a 115lb xl bully pups? Great tutorial tho, from England 🇬🇧 👍🏽👌🏽

    • @BigRedButtonBuilder
      @BigRedButtonBuilder  2 года назад +1

      If mom isn't too rough half inch should still be ok. Doesn't hurt to bump it up a little to 5/8. Or just put a rail at the top early for extra support.

      It was lost to the box of unused wedding gifts in the basement just like the ark at the end of Indiana Jones

  • @sarahnicao
    @sarahnicao 2 месяца назад

    Is the rail around the inside necessary for the box to stay together? Hoping to follow your tutorial (it's so great!) to make a box for foster kittens, so there isn't any of that same concern re a mom squishing puppies!

    • @BigRedButtonBuilder
      @BigRedButtonBuilder  2 месяца назад +1

      The rail shouldn't be required for the box to stay together although it dose make it more sturdy.

    @candyontiveros2165 Год назад

    Did you build a bottom for them?

    • @BigRedButtonBuilder
      @BigRedButtonBuilder  Год назад

      Plywood underneath with sheets, paper or woodchips. Sod if your feeling fancy - its a LOT of work.

  • @MrBecksjl
    @MrBecksjl 2 года назад

    How much did this run you with everything included? Wood, screws, etc

    • @BigRedButtonBuilder
      @BigRedButtonBuilder  2 года назад

      probably $60 but it is very dependent on wood prices at the time.

    Is this whelping box big enough for a 95 pound Labrador Retriever?

    • @BigRedButtonBuilder
      @BigRedButtonBuilder  2 года назад +1

      Might be a little tight for that. Same principals apply to a larger box.

  • @robertmarshall2224
    @robertmarshall2224 7 месяцев назад

    I put the bottom 2x4's on edge to give the puppies more room not to be suffocated

    • @BigRedButtonBuilder
      @BigRedButtonBuilder  7 месяцев назад

      Good point. I usually double them up around week 2 for the same effect.

    U KNOW BY USING THE 2X4 INSIDE THEY WILL CHEW IT & GET SPLINTERS. I WOULD BUILD THAT ON THE OUTSIDE

    • @BigRedButtonBuilder
      @BigRedButtonBuilder  2 года назад +3

      I've never had that problem and getting squished by mom is a much bigger risk which is why they're in there.
