I have used kiddy wading pools as a whelping box for years and years. I put it inside an X pen and keep the pen small until they are old enough to crawl out. Then I bring out the four by four whelping box I use for my greyhounds. In the wading pool, I put a large bed sheet inside and tuck it in all around the outside. On top of the bed sheet, I placed several layers of old towels. This way, I can cover up messes frequently and then change the whole thing about once a day. It keeps my washing machine humming, but it works out well. I get the old sheets and towels at thrift stores. They usually only cost about 1 to 2 dollars each.
One of the best things about using a pool is that you can turn it around easily to assist Mom if necessary.
