Hi everyone, this is a 2 part question here, one to breeders and one to who ever can answer

I had several carpet remnants years ago. I placed them in my whelp boxes for my babies and mommys. I've long since used them all up and believe me, they needed to be thrown away. I'm totally out of them and am having a hard time locating a place to get them. Reason I ask is because I have tons of blankies...fleece, cotton, terry, all sorts. My babies always do the loosey goosey and squirm up under them. Mom also likes to do her diggity dig thing. So every few minutes I am constantly making sure the babies aren't under the blankies, which they do at times. I keep the heat pad UNDER the box, not in it. It still can get really WARM/HOT without something between their little bodies and the plastic box.

So, my question is this, do any of you breeders have an alternative that you use instead of the carpet remnants, or can anyone tell me a good starting point to find some? I'm getting to the point where I am going to be buying up rolls of carpet for 100's of bucks just to CUT IT ALL UP!

Thanks
