What do you use

[Malo]

I would like some ideas. I am planning onbuilding a nice cage for Smudge and was wondering what to use for thebottom of it. It is going to have a pan bottom (no wires on the floor,I just dont like the idea of it) that will slide out. Right now I havea Patio home right nowhttp://www.petsmart.com/media/ps/images/products/detail/large/i/inP0/inP019635large_e07b.jpgAnd put a towel at the bottom. He tears the towel up which I do notfeel is safe for him because of the fabric. I do not want to useshavings because he is potty trained and the shavings are so messy.

Any ideas about what to use would be great

Now, testing out my carpentry skills is another story :shock:

Stanley's cage has no bottom, it's just my floor.

I don't really have a better picture sorry.

I use carpet samples that I get at Wal-Mart. Two in a package, for less than $4.
Comfortable for the buns "delicate" footsies, easy to clean (vacuum), and cheap
enough to throw away. Each one usually lasts about 2 months, some longer (it
depends upon the rabbit). I also buy their cheap door mats ($2.50 & $3+) for
some of my rabbits. They come in 2 sizes, in green, tan, & blue. These have a
hard rubber backing that my Mitzi loves to shread! Charlotte

I use newspaper in Chinnys cage. I just put downlike 4 layers or something. She seems to like it. And she can tear itup and i dont have to worry so much

Stanley looks so beautiful!

We put this sliding tray in Emmy's cage. It's not exactly a slidingtray. It's just a tray for her to lay down in so she wont lay in herurine and poop.

I use indoor/outdoor carpet for mine.It has a rigid backing. They love to lay on it and luckilythey don't eat it. I can clean it with the hose and let itdry when it's needed. I vacuum it every week. Ipaid $3.00 for a large piece at Home Depot and cut it to fit with autility knife.

I thought carpet wasn't good for buns?

It's not if they ingest it. Mine don't. It's so short, I don't think they can get their teeth into it.

I took the carpet out because it was gettingdirty. I could easily replace it with another, butI used the ceramic tiles instead. Thetiles is not a slippery as the plastic cage bottom and itfeels cool to the touch.

you can try some of those straw mats from PetCo. I have even seen natural untreated bamboo tablemats at WalMart.

I only use the wire bottomed cages, the twosolid bottomed cages i had aren't working out, they don't keep the bunsclean enough.

[align=center]Like Ellie, i also try to use onlywire floored cages. I do have one cage that has a solidfloor, and i try to clean it out twice a day and i strip it every fourdays. Right now, i also have a bunny in the house.I keep her in a pet taxi, as those things are near indestructable and ihave a pit bull, a rat terrier/toy manchester cross, and another muttpuppy in the house. I clean that out morning and night.[/align]
