Removing pups

Jamie p · 07-17-2010, 10:22 PM

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knows the safest way to transplant pups without causing alot of damage to the mother and the pups? Thank you all for your help.

I just want to say thank you Michael for the help. It's kinda nerve racking everytime I think about trying it.

This is the tool you want to use. Trust me, I have tried them all and made some more.

Personally I like using my pocket knife cause I can feel what I'm doing even though I can't see. Well I loosen dirt to isolate that I'm not cutting any roots as well. Of course the pups aren't huge then its a good blade like below. :^)
