pups and heating

[Margaret Ethridge]

I have some pups due any day now and I was wondering if they would need a heat lamp for warmth at night. Here in Ga.
it's been getting down to the mid 60's at night. Is that still too cool for them?
Thanks in advance for any and all info.

You shouldn't need a heat lamp now. The pups will huddle together and also they will get heat from their mother's body and stay warm at night. I just had a litter of 9 born Monday morning and it has been getting down in the 60's here at night also but they are fine. Good luck with your pups.
