You can still give them floor time. You can do one of many things to make sure they don't go on the carpet.

One thing you can do it to watch when they eat or drink, then either wait until they do their business or take them out for only a few minutes (they go about every 15 minutes).

Or, you can create a floor time pen (make sure it's larger than the cage or there is no point to it). Take a vinyl tablecloth or a shower curtain and put that down on the floor to protect the carpet/floor. Then put the pen (I just zip tied a bunch of grids together) and put them on top of the mat and give it a few inches of clearance all the way around so that nothing spreads out over the floor covering. Then, when you put them back, all you have to do it mop up the pee and sweep up the poo, wipe it down with a 50/50 water/vinegar solution, fold up and put away.
