Hi, and thanks for posting this question. Ambient temperature for pups that age should be around 80 degrees, so as long as mom is with them her body heat probably keeps it around that temp. If she will be gone for any length of time then you may want to increase the temperature slightly . Have fun with those pups, and thanks for using Pet Coach..
