Ok, I got rid of the heat lamp because I also felt like it was stressing her. Plus, she was panting a lot and I just didn't feel comfortable with it. She was in a big wire kennel/crate that was big enough that I could crawl in it with her. That's where I put her a couple days before she had her babies and where she delivered. I didn't like the thought of one of the babies possible getting caught in the wires so I moved her to her big pen. Her big pen is divided into 2 areas a big play area and a smaller sleep area. It's dark in the sleeping side. It works perfectly other than the heat issue. Because it's enclosed, the puppies seem to be warm enough. I'd still like to get some kind of heat pad though.

Do you use a regular heating pad or a special kind for animals?
