eating puppies

[champj20]

Had a female that would eat the pups after 2-3 wks everytime on 3 different litters. I kept her because she is a good hog hunting animal and I wanted pups off her. This worked for me I purchased a cheap nylon Pit Bull muzzle and muzzled the bitch. Only removed the muzzle when I feed her and she raised to 2 litters fine no problems......

Up? Any more information on combating this problem?

My buddy had one that would have the pups, nice and healthy, the first litter was 8, and by day three she ate them all. My only guess is that as long as they were quite and still they were OK. The movement and noise set her off as she was a nut to begin with.

The second litter I held her down and let them nurse four times per day (work schedule) for the first four weeks. At four weeks they were eating on their own and I would hold her down and let them help dry her up. At any time if I let go she would have wiped them out. She was just stupid crazy. Not stupid and crazy but plain stupid crazy.
