The dynamics of false vacuum decay at the end of inflation is studied. It is shown that the creation of a new phase is mainly stimulated by temperature fluctuations. Moving walls of O(3)-symmetric bubbles weakly interact with their surroundings at the inflation stage. Large field fluctuations might arise as a result of wall collisions.
