Sonic Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 As my heading suggests, I need to buy a whelping box, Labrador size. Google hasn't been too helpful. Is there anywhere in Melbourne that I can buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 There are two suppliers listed here on DOL http://www.dogzonline.com.au/marketplace/whelping-boxes.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 You can sometimes find good plans on Google if you know a local handyman. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If you pick the right size you can find most of the pieces you need, already correctly sized at Bunnings. A drill, some screws and you are done :) If you want something a different size or you can't quite get the right sizes they will also cut things for you for about $1.00 per cut. I have an old and very heavy whelping box that is borrowed from a friend and she got it second hand. I intend on making my own for my next litter so that it can be the size I want and a bit lighter and easier to clean than the 1 I am currently using. 1 great idea I have seen for pig rails in a home made whelping box was poly pipe pieces with 4 corners and a few T pieces that kept it off the ground of the whelping box and out from the edge, nice and light and easy to remove when the puppies get bigger.
