Is a dim room bad for puppies? Do young puppies need direct sunlight?

Just like in humans, sunlight is really good for dogs overall health and well-being. You need to watch for signs of sunburn in light/thin coated dogs, and in your temperature you need to watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia, but the sun is excellent for you and your pup!

Nanga can lay in the sun, but it's best that's done through a window indoors in the air conditioning. She should not get too hot, or that will cause heat stroke. Do not let her do this outside as I know it's extremely hot in Australia at the moment.

As long as its placed at a distance that prevents them from potentially bumping into it and burning themselves, then yes, you can. However, its often not needed, especially in the summer.,as long as momma dog is right there are they are in a protected area with bedding/blankets/and snuggling together.

As long as a dog is safe and secure, has adequate shelter/warmth and appropriate access to food and water there is no reason why they must be indoors or outdoors for any set lengths of times. Space to exercise and play is great for dogs and many are happier outdoors as long as they have a comfortable sleeping area

Ideally, the pup should not be left outdoors. If you must, provide shelter where it can stay cool/warm/dry depending on the weather. You can crate the pup indoors but someone will need to let it out to use the bathroom during the day or there will be a mess when you get home. The rule of thumb for crating is 1 hour per month of age plus an additional hour before the pup should be given a break from the crate.

Great question! I would keep your puppy indoors in cold nights. Young puppies are not able to regulate their body temperature, and it would be best to keep it indoors where it is warmer. You can keep the puppy in a crate indoors to keep it from getting into things and having accidents in the home.

Taking them outside would not be recommended. At their age, their immune systems are not strong enough to resist potential infection. They should remain indoors for now. If they are able to wander away from mom, watch them to prevent mischief or injury. They will return when they are hungry. They will likely need to nurse every 6-8 hours.
