I use a foam mat, like the big ones that they have for kids. You can find them in stores like Ross, Target, K-mart, maybe even Pier One Imports. Also, on amazon for pretty cheap. Or you can use a sheet of like plexi glass and cover it with blankets, but that might be too slick for your bun, so you could also use again, foam mats or yoga mats.

I recommend you go to Lowe's or similar place where carpeting/flooring is sold. Go & ask for their remnant section & get an appropriate size piece of linoleum. That is what I did & it works for us. I've also used the office chair mats but those are expensive compared to a remnant of linoleum.

A word of caution with foam mats some bunnies will chew it. My bunnies try to chew their flooring/mats so the linoleum remnant worked best for us & wasn't very expensive.

You will need to make it taller, most rabbits will jump out of that quite easily. I would go at least 2 grids tall.

I use coroplast for the base. It is easy to cut and work with and generally not too expensive, I can get a 4X8ft sheet for about $20. The only problem I tend to have is that some rabbits will chew it, but I have found hard plastic stuff to go around the edge. The coroplast does protect the floor, but you will need some blanket or something to provide traction.

Linoleum is a very common flooring option, if you do choose to use it, make sure you get a piece that is bigger than the surface area of your cage, so that the cage sits on it and the rabbit can't reach the edge to chew it. You can also add fleece blankets in then. A litter tray will also be good, rabbits are easily litter trained which will help to avoid any accidents

I also agree that you will need to make the cage taller or add a roof. A bunny will be out of that in a heartbeat.
