I know I can`t be the only person here who bought a Mother Nile Crocodile thinking it would do exactly what it says in the Item Catalog:
``Crocodiles are fierce and protective, caring mothers. This one in particular will grant 100% health and no hunger for newborn pups while equipped to your bitch before birth.``

To me, this implies that when your bitch is pregnant, if you place the croc on her before she gives birth and leave it there `til she gives birth, the pups will have no hunger & the bitch will have 100% health.
I asked the issue hub about this and was told that the effects only occur if the crocodile is on the dog during the breeding.
A bit disappointing considering the amount of $$ I spent on buying this item when it doesn`t even do what is advertised in the Item Catalog.

I suggest making it so that you can equip it after the bitch is pregnant and until she gives birth to get the effects.
