I bought Coroplast from a local sign shop- and it was worth calling a few to get a better price- I think I got an 8 foot sheet for around $20- Ijust had to wait a few days because I wanted Navy.  They did not cut it for me- as that was additional labor although they were nice enough to put a slice in it to let it fold so we could fit it in our car.  If you only cut halfway thru the Coroplast with bend in half or you can keep an piece intact and still fold the corner to make a box.

One sign shop we called had Navy in stock but it was $36.  Anything with shipping (shopping online) will probably raise the price too high.

Coroplast is basically cardboard- but plastic cardboard- it has 2 layers with the grooves between the solid layers.  It can be a bit slippery- but it is super easy to wipe up- and you can put a rug, sea grass mat, fleece blanket or anything else on it that is easier to clean.

I have cage cleaing down to a quick routine now- my bunnies are on fleece blankets on top of either vinyl or a dog crate tray that can be easily wiped clean and I hve enough blankets to rotate- so I do not have to wait for the washer and dryer to finish before they are re-set.

yup… it’s slippery too. i solved the slippery prob by cutting an extra piece of chloroplast to fit (doesn’t have to be as large as the whole floor space) and wrapping it with faux sheepskin. anything rigid will do. use big clips to keep the wrap stuck on and have all the edges hidden underneath to discourage chewing / shredding. makes for a great non-slip pad. you can have a few pieces to rotate to keep them laundered & fresh.

oh look… found pics

The only other thing I could think is if there was textured linoleum, but that would probably be more expensive. And it may or may not be less slippery. I have my pen on a rug of course, which is not at all slippery, but you have to be careful vaccuuming so you don’t suck up too much hay. Another issue is if your buns are not 100% with training, or if they chew/dig carpet.

I’ve seen some rubbery type materials sold on rolls at Home Depot. You might try looking there, even if you can’t cover the whole floor in it, you could cover some of the main sections where they are pooping/peeing with some segments of it. I think it wasn’t really wide enough to be a substitute floor, but was about 1.5 or 2 feet wide, and came on a roll so you could get it as long as you want.

I haven’t tried it myself, but I would avoid anything rubbery. One of my bunnies seems to love eating anything with a rubbery texture – TV remote buttons, the handle of a dustpan brush, soles of shoes…
Fortunately I don’t think he’s ever gotten more than a nibble here and there as I keep a close eye on him when he’s out. I guess it could be less of a problem if it’s flooring – a flat surface would be harder to chew – but they could dig at it and tear pieces up.

I just called around to 2 sign shops today and the price ranged from $15 for a 4×8 sheet of white to $35 for the same.  I am going to pick up the $15 sheet .

I have the same setup as you do but dont quite have it down to a science yet – lol.  I had been helping take care of the litter of 7 kits and their mamma at my son’s school and had made a nic cube condo – I had purchased a dog crate tray online it is 32 x 46 so it fit 2 grids by 3 grids perfectly.  I have 2 shelves in it – it is 4 grids high where the highest shelf is and open over the rest.  I had been lining the whole thing with wood pellets topped with carefresh.  I took the bunnys home last monday ( they are 10 weeks old now).  I asked on this forum and someone suggested putting the fleece blankets and i have litter boxes in 3 of the corners.  They are using the litter boxes and also going on the fleece.

This weekend I had a large – 4 x 5 (?) piece of cardboard that I fenced in with an x pen and attached to their condo for an added ”play area” - they made a huge mess – poop and pee everywhere – are they too young to expect them to use the litter boxes consistently?  Shoudl I confine them to their condo and just let them in the “play area” a few times per day?
