Newborns & Heating Pad

Post by WV Jaz »

Have 5 new healthy additions to our Beagle family :D :D They were born in the living room in the dam's favorite corner. How long do should they have the heating pad in their whelping box?

A week is usually enough if you have them indoors.You can gradually decrease the temp from when they are first born to when you take them off of it.
