If anyone is wondering what to use for a pen with a 5"-6" lip, as a breeder myself, I use a kiddie pool and line it with old sheets and towels. I have enough old bedding ready to change the kiddie pool three to four times per day - and yes, it's really necessary that often. A litter of puppies makes quite a lot of mess.
I feed my pregnant ladies a puppy formula dry dog food three times per day and I give a little extra as well. Add about 25% more than her usual serving size. If you aren't sure about the serving size, check the dog food bag. It will have instructions on how much to feed.
Good luck, folks! And thanks, doc, for the advice!
