What NOT to use:
* Regular bedding: This can be dangerous as kittens can get tangled in sheets, blankets, or pillows.
* Anything with holes: Kittens can get stuck in holes in baskets, boxes, or other materials.
* Anything with a loose bottom: This can make the kittens feel insecure and unsafe.
What to use:
* A nesting box: A sturdy, secure box with a soft, washable liner is ideal. You can use a cardboard box, a plastic storage bin, or a pet carrier. Make sure there's a cozy place for the kittens to huddle together.
* A heated pad: A low-heat pad can help keep kittens warm, especially if they're orphaned or very young. Make sure the pad is set to a safe temperature and that the kittens can move away if they get too hot.
* Towels: Use soft, absorbent towels to line the nesting box. This will help keep the kittens dry and comfortable.
Important things to remember:
* Keep the nesting box clean and dry. Change the towels frequently and wash them regularly.
* Make sure the kittens have access to food and water.
* Monitor the kittens closely for signs of illness.
Remember: If you are concerned about the health of your kittens, please contact a veterinarian immediately. They can provide expert advice and care for your little ones.
