Does anyone know where i can buy an incubator from in the uk please?

Why do you need an incubator rather than just a heat pad, within a box perhaps?

Pug mothers arn't very maternal and dont't really want to stay with the pups so this will insure they are kept at a constant heat.

Right, but aren't heat pads thermostically controlled to maintain a consistant temperature?  The have to be kept at a warm temperature even with the mother if the weather is at all cool I've always used an overhead lamp  and constantly monitored with a room thermometer, raising and lowering the lamp as necessary.  Youv'e always got to be around anyway.

Yes and i have used a heat pad in the past but that is a heat underneath the puppies an incubator would be heat all around them

I think if they are in a fairly small box the hot air rising would deal with that.  After all, once they are out of the womb they have to deal with different temperatures even when the mum attends.  Even good mums don't lie over them like a chicken :)
If you are set on a incubator maybe you can use a egg one with the trays taken out.

Thanks i did think of that but i think it would be too small, i want it big enough for mum to get in with her pups to feed them. someone suggested a plant incubator?

I think egg incubators come in a huge range of sizes.  I still think a pad is best, my cocker was an excellent mother but I think she would have abandoned her babies if the whole feeding area was heated!  That is the beauty of pads and lamps they create an area that the puppies can gravitate to when mum is not there while leaving an area that she can base herself slightly outside that.

I am inclined to agree with everyone else luvapug an incubator should not even be thought of, it is completely the wrong type of tool to use.

A covered whelping box with heat pad will be more than sufficient, I too have hand reared a litter and would never have dreamt of using an incubator, ducklings and tortoises fine, but not for pups!

The pups will thrive and be plenty warm enough in the whelping box. :-)

If you have an enclosed whelping box with a lid (something like a travel box) there will be plenty of warmth in a normally-heated room. If mum's not with them then a heat pad will be all the additional warmth required.

I think you also need to be very wary about OVERHEATING the pups too...can't imagine using and having to buy an incubator would be easy or cheap?? All the best, Dawn

we have a number of incubators (egg type) and certainly would never consider them suitable for anmal use....they have virtually no air for a start! Surely the bitch can rear them with ? Failing that you will have to do what the rest of us do with orphan pups....hand rear them & give them 24 hours a day for a number of weeks. it comes with being a breeder!

I have reared two litters of pekes,who I would have thought were similar to pugs.The mothers dont want to stay in with them an awful lot,and I had to toilet them and top them up with a bottle. I had them in my bedroom and they thrived with a heatpad and a covered hot water bottle at the side. I had them in a medium sized pet cage with cot-bumpers all round.
They pretty much stay on the heat-pad but as previously mentioned, 24hour round the clock supervision is also of great importance.I dont think I left the house for 6 weeks.

An incubator would be a no no in my opinion for puppies.   A whelping box with the heat pad , with a lid or even a large bit of cardboard over the top would be more that suficient.  You could lift it on and off,  I think an incubator could cause dehydration. How would a bitch get in and out to them when she wanted. In fact I think this type of arrangement for a mother would make her even less maternal. JMHO.

At least with a pad they can get away from the heat when they need to. One of the reasons I don't like heat lamps mself personally. 

Where's Gwen these days?

I was thinking that myself last night when I replied. She hopefully will see it.

What about one of those cardboard whelping boxes that have a ready made lid, bars, and a ready made hole made for mum to get in and out? cant remember who makes them, but they are advertised in the dog press. A good heatpad in there, warm draft free place in the house, a nice little 'cave' would be warm enough? May be a duvet over the box to keep more heat in.
