Hey All!
I have a question about flooring. I did some searching on the forums but couldn't really find anything on this type of question. I have a spare bedroom (10x10) that I'm currently keeping my two rabbits in. I have an X-Pen set up with a sheet of spare vinyl as the flooring. My oldest rabbit has full run of the X-Pen all day. This room isn't really doing anything at this point besides housing the rabbits and storing their supplies. The carpet is stained so I'm thinking about ripping it up and making the room into a giant pen for my guys. The question is: what should I do about flooring. Carpet won't work b/c my oldest guy is a digger and chewer, hence the vinyl I have down in his X-Pen. Tile is too slippery. The vinyl seems okay for him now but he can't full on run right now (at least I don't think he can). Wood floors I imagine are just as slippery. So if I'm going to give them a whole room what kind of floor can I do?
My house is on a slab so I was thinking I could rip up the carpet and put that garage floor epoxy coating stuff over the slab in that room like this: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/how-to/intro/0,,20174654,00.html
I think that stuff has some traction doesn't it?
This is the only thing that I can think of that would be an easy cleanup and let the rabbits get some traction. Any thoughts or other suggestions? I've seen the mosaic tile stuff but to do a 10x10 room, it would easily be $700-$1000 for the tile alone. I want to stay around $100-$200 for the material.
