Whelp Watch

Hi all

I am hoping to have have my boxers pregnancy confirmed at the end of the month. But I have some questions.

What do most of you line your whelping boxes with, during the actual birth and post whelp, and also once mama does not eat the waste?
Also I would love to see pictures of whelping boxes that you guys have used, that would be much appreciated.
Also what type of heat source do you use to heat the whelping box? Lamp or pad, and where did you get it?

thank you in advance

I use newspaper during the birth and change it often. I use rubber-backed rugs and towels after the birth.

You can see some pics of my box here:

I use a heating pad. CAUTION: never leave a bitch alone with a heating pad in her box. If you have to leave, crank up the heater!
