I also have a Warming box that I keep puppies in for Intensive Care...I took a clear plastic box roughly 14 X 16 X 6....I drilled 1/2" holes...on all 4 sides...about 4-6 inches apart...about an inch or so from the top edge.. One of the holes drilled is drilled using a 1inch drill bit...

I put a heating pad in the bottom of the box threading the cord through the 1 inch hole....A white large clean bath towel folded on top of the heating pad...I put a room thermometer...plastic one purchased from WalMart...on top of the towel...Put the lid on and turn on the heating pad...Monitor the temperature to see what the temp is holding so you know what you will have to keep the heating pad set on...I also recommend that you purchase a car adapter to plug into you cig. lighter and this way you can plug your warming box in when you transport puppies for any reason...Puppies stay warm and do not get chilled which can be deadly to newborns...

This is an inexpensive way to provide a clean warm environment for your puppies while caring for them....
