Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 As long as the dogs are kept warm and dry is all that matters really. I like to fluff the waxed bedding up every couple of days to air it out and change it every couple of weeks. 1 Quote Link to post

Dead Eyes 681 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I use an old memory foam pillow. After a while they lose their shape a little so I get new ones, and the dogs get my old ones. Keeps them warm in winter and cool in summer Quote Link to post
