Non-slip NIC cage floors

[naturestee]

Hey all,

I'm thinking of building an NIC cage for the ladies, but I don't wantthe slippery floor problems that I'm having with Mocha and Loki's dogcrate. I'm worried that the usually-recommended chloroplast(sp?) looks a bit slippery. Have you had problems withit? What else would work?

At farm and fleet they have rubber mats that canbe used in dog kennels, they're fairly thin, light and able to be cutdown to size...just something to think about.

I'm using this corregated cardboard material Ifound at the local teacher's store. It comes in colors and isa huge 4'x6' piece for about $5. Its meant for bullitenboards in school.

I used those foam type things that kids buildforts with, you can get a set at Sam' for about $20.00 for 8 panels.BB's cage only used 4, but I cut them to fit and lined one ledge withone of the remnants.

So far she hasn't chewed on it a bit, but I do have it pretty good wedged in there.

Clean up is easy... too

I keep forgeting to post a pic in the cage section. Going to do that now ..

We just discovered the joys of coroplast, and haven'thad a problem with the rabbits slipping on it.

As it's so cheap, I think it's worth a shot for you to give it a try.

I use linoleum. Its a little slippery, but my bunnies don't seem to mind.

Mine ate the linoleum. Careful

Mine too. But the linoleum is bigger than the cage, so they can onlyget at it when they are out of the cage. When they are out of the cagewe watch them carefully, for that exact reason.
