Today I plan to attempt introductions with my boys. I don't want them to be stuck in the store bought cages they're in any longer. My problem is that I wasn't able to fit my coroplast into the car yet, so I wanted to know if I could put a shower curtain on the floor, and build their cage on top? I have hard wood floors. I don't have a way to get coroplast right away. Or would it be better to just wait untli I can get the coroplast (next month). IDK! Advice?

I have a vinyl tablecloth under my cage with towels and fleece on top. The cage is over top of the carpet, and nothing leaks, so yes i think that the shower curtain would be fine! :)

Thanks! It will be temporary but right now I don't have the money for coroplast since we just moved! I really hope I can bond all of them together so they can be in one HUGE cage!!!

I have been using a shower curtain since I've had my girls. I just cut it down to a bit larger than the cage, tape it to the floor, and build!

I am thinking of using a large, shallow cardboard box with a plastic shower curtain lining it, would that also work???

A cardboard box will work well. Just watch though, if it gets damp it will stink!
