i went to joanns yesterday and saw that they sold whole bolts of shower curtain material for super cheap. This would be great for floor time, and it would be a lot cheaper than just buying a shower curtain. In the clearance section, they had a precut 4 foot by 6 foot piece for just $1.25!!! Look in your local stores too!

Very cheap so you would use this on the ground for floor time so the pee and poop won't go any where!? Thanks for the tip!!!!
 
yeah, over carpet or whatever.
 
Mine are nearly 100% "paper"trained to at least pee on a water-proof baby lap-pad. I bought a remnant at JoAnn Fabric, cut it to fit under their C & C cage, added a small water bottle and a hay-hopper, and they're all set. I liked the lap-pad better than the shower curtain idea because it's soft on their feet and not slippery. I was using flannel-backed plastic tablecloths from the dollar store. I very rarely have to clean up an accident. Fantastic deal at JoAnn, though!!!!
 
I use the Neet Sheets, they are blue and you can wash them. I like them better than the vinyl tablecloths. I just watch when I find a coupon for $1 off one.

Doesn't urine go through them? Or is the interior waterproof. I know water kind of beads on the surface but I would have thought with time that it would go through.
 
Nope, it just kinda pools on the top and I put a handful of bedding on it when I see it. Once floor time is over, I roll it up, shake it off outside, let it dry and then fold it until I use it again.

well, i was only planning on using the shower curtain fabric for floor time. not in their cage...
 
That's a great deal! I think I might just go for the kiddie pool in the wintertime with something soft, like towels, on the bottom.
