Update: So I've switched to the pine shavings! They started being their little dinosaur selves and ripped the paper towels to shreds! It was too much of a mess (who would've thought!) and I was spending far too much time cleaning up after them. I put cardboard around the outside bottom of the...

Thank you all for the great tips! For now I think I'm going to stick with the paper towels. I find that it's easier to 'spot' clean all their little poops since I can just roll up the dirty p towel and lay down a new one. They're only going to be inside for a few more weeks so I think we can...

Thank you! I've actually stopped using the tote about 3 days ago, it just seemed too small for them. I love the playpen! I can sit in there with them and it's great! My little Dominique (Willow) seems to be the sweetest so far, she always comes up to greet me and loves to sleep in my hands. :)...

So this is my set up! They're in here for most of the day, but if I leave or it's time to sleep, they go back into their tote. The paper towels are working great! Boy do they poop a lot! Haha, I clean that thing out like 3 or 4 times a day. They seem to be very happy and comfy. :) the temp...

Good to know, thank you! I have to say, this is my first time joining a forum and I have definitely chosen the right one! You've all been so helpful and I feel much more confident in what I'm doing! Thank you everybody! :)

I should add that the 86 degree temp is at the floor right under the lamp, so I bet the actual room temp is about 80 degrees or so.. And the pen they're in is about 4x4 ft. Also we're just using a 150 watt incandesant bulb and it's about 2 ft off the ground.

Thanks! I never thought of that.. The temp outside right now is 68 and I could easily open a window to get a nice air flow going. It's currently 86.4 degrees in pen they're in right now and they seem to be comfy as can be just sleeping away! (Little darlings.. I love them!) Do you think that is...

Ok thanks! I was thinking the newspaper because that way I could keep it relatively clean while I'm sitting in there with them. They have pine shavings in their tote, but the playpen is such a large area that I don't really want to put the shavings in there. Would cardboard work? I have an...

So my babies arrived safely! The room they are in has an ambient temp of about 85 degrees, so I've found it pretty easy to keep it nice and warm for them! I've also set up a larger "play" area (in the same room) out of a 6 panel connecting baby gate I had. This way I can sit in there with them...

Thank you for all the help! And to answer your question, we've decided to keep them in an unused room inside the house so we can better regulate the temperature. I'm not sure what the ambient temp of the room is yet, but we'll know soon. And thanks for the heating pad link! :)

I have 10 baby fluffy butts coming in the mail soon, and I want to make sure that everything is ready for them! We have a 32 gallon rubber maid tote and I'm wondering what type of light I should use? I've read about many different ones including a red brooder lamp, but what wattage do I need...
