Fab System Whelping Box Rail Assembly
Rails, also referred to as pig rails, are used to protect the puppies should mom roll over and accidentally smother her babies. When puppies are of sufficient size and strength, rails can be removed to increase internal whelping box space.
Fab System rail assemblies are made from tough and sturdy ABS & PVC plastic, making them durable and easy to clean. Internal rib reinforcement minimizes bowing. Adjustable "legs" (for the 4x4 and 4x6 rails) allows the breeder to set and vary the rail height as appropriate for breed size. The 3x3 does not come with adjustable legs as they are generally not needed with smaller breeds.
Young canine puppies (like human babies) tend to crawl themselves into corners and get stuck. The 45 degree angular placement of the legs prevents this from happening--puppies are steered away from corners.
This rail assembly includes all rails, corner pieces, and fastening hardware.
Select matching size, Fab 3x3, Fab4x4 or Fab4x6.

FAQs

What size whelping box do I need?
To determine the size of the whelping box for your litter, measure your dog from nose to rear end while she lies down. Add 8 inches for pig rails. For example, if she measures 27 inches, the box should be at least 35 inches long (27 + 8). An EZclassic 38x38 or Fab System 3x3 would work. If she measures 46 inches, the box should be at least 54 inches long (46 + 8). Options include the EZclassic 48x76 Tall or Fab System 4x6 or 7x6 (but 48x48 or 4x4 would be too small). If expecting a large litter, consider adding a room for extra space.
What size pad should I get for my box?
All washable/reusable pads tend to shink some after the first couple washes. Always purchase a pad that is slightly largers than your whelping area.
EZwhelp pads are all marked in the size selection for which box they match up with. Example: 29"x29" Matches EZclassic 28x28 Box; 39.5"x39.5" Matches EZclassic 38x38 Box; 48.5"x48.5" Matches Fab 4x4 Box. 50"x50" Matches EZclassic 48x48 Box.
What comes with an EZwhelp whelping Box?

Can the EZclassic and Fab Systems connect together?
No. The two models are completely different and are not designed to connect to each other.
Are the Pig Rails removable?
Yes! In both the EZclassic and Fab System, the rail assemblies are designed to drop into the whelping box after box is assembled. They can be removed when they are no long required/needed or they can be left in the box.
Can the height of the rails be adjusted?
Absolutely. EZclassic rails have 3 different heights to choose from by compressing button clips on each rail corner leg piece. Clips are designed with a tight fitting to ensure rails at a taller height will not collapse down with heavy weight. Fab System rails (excluding the 3x3 rails) include 4 leg pieces with varying heights to choose from when assembling.
