Other things instead of coroplast?

Hi! I am trying to build a new cage for Honey and Patches {if they get along} but I can't find any coroplast around my area. I have tried a shower curtain but when I put Patches in there she immediatly dug under the bedding and chewed throught the newspaper and then chewed the shower curtain and then an hour later I can into my room and there was a giant hole right to the rug! Oh, Patches was kept in a cage with the shower curtain bottom while honey stayed in my sister's room.

I just put a Lino floor in my C & C today, it cost £15 (don't know how much that is in dollars)

You might like to try the Lino floor (btw, LindaP .. very very nice C&C!)

I think wood is good as a temporary solution only. It's alright in the sense that they can chew on it a bit, it wouldn't be harmful but the pee will definitely sink in and it will be hard to keep clean.

Re: Other things instead of coroplast?

I was thinking of lining it with a tarp and covering it in newspaper and them bedding. would that work or just a waste?

I use the baby mats with the letters on them. I have pics on my profile.
