I think you make out better w/ shelves from Home Depot/Lowes and PVC for pig rails than Durawhelp:) Lots of things to have in a whelping kit but I would not be w/o Nursemate ASAP, ora-cal plus and pit just in case I needed it. I use (only) sterilon as bedding. Bene-bac. Pediatric amoxy drops (just in case). I always have sterile french tubes for tubing here if need be. You'll decide what heat source is best for you:) I put thermometers all around the box and pen enclosure. Baby monitor that looks like a TV (Baby's-R-Us) Just found a "bridge" between my normal weaning formula. I used to go directly from 2nd Step (Esbilac) to ground soaked kibble, Learned about Royal Canin "mother's mousse" then puppy starter, so now it's added before the puppy kibble. Wonderful stuff! Nemex II (starting at 2 weeks). I'm sure others will add.... Good luck w/ the babies Sam!

Can anyone recommend a good whelping box? Also, can people let me know where I can find a great list of whelping supplies to have on hand when whelping a litter.
