Overview
A metal whelping box built for nursing dams and their litters, with a 41 by 26.5 inch inner floor, 15.5 inch walls, front door access and a removable nesting tray.
The open top and front door are meant to let owners reach in for cleaning and monitoring without disturbing the whole enclosure, while lockable caster wheels let the box be moved once assembled. A removable grid and tray support cleanup around the litter. The listing recommends it for small to medium dams such as Beagles, Dachshunds or French Bulldogs, and says buyers should confirm their dam can lie down and turn comfortably inside before choosing it.
- 41 x 26.5 inch inner floor, 15.5 inch walls
- Front door and top open access
- Lockable caster wheels for repositioning
- Removable nesting tray and grid
Who it's for
Breeders or owners managing a whelping litter with a small to medium size dam who need a dedicated nursing enclosure rather than a standard crate. Owners of large breed dams should check the inner dimensions closely since this box is not built for them.

Performance notes
The nesting box and removable grid are meant to separate the dam's resting area from where puppies nurse, while the removable tray catches mess for cleanup. Lockable caster wheels let the assembled unit be repositioned without lifting it. Steel construction is described as chewproof and rust resistant for indoor or outdoor use.
