You're not suppose to supplement pups for at least 24 hours. You need to pull the other pups off. Open the 2 pup's mouths and latch them on to the teet. They need the colustrum from mom.

It's natural for mom to cover them up that why you don't want a lot of bedding in there. Also, turn your pad down to low, put a couple of layers of towels down and THEN the plastic box.
