My gang doesn't seem to like using their litter boxes, so after looking through all of the comments on the FN photo thread, I thought I'd try what Jack Sparrow did, and make coroplast liners for my dirty ratties.
I chose green, because it's my fav color. These are two 48" by 98" sheets.
I took the dimensions of the FN and added 8" to each measurement, because I wanted 4" sides/walls. The FN measurements are 34" X 23", so I cut the coroplast into 3 sheets of 42" X 31".
Then I measured 4" from each side, drew the 4" line markers, and scored one side of the coroplast with a utility knife.
Note: I did make the back wall about 4 1/2" tall, so that the box fits withing the door jam area.
I cut all the way through one corner (which you can see in the photo) to make a box edge. Then I taped them together. Maybe I'll try to find some green tape
Here are all three FN level liners/floors completed. The cutting isn't the prettiest, but it'll work.
Boys cage before and after photos:
Big girls cage before and after photos:
New little girls cage:
And a photo of Maisy while I was installing the floor. She wasn't too concerned as you can see.
Can't wait to see how well this works.
I'll be putting the third level of my FN together this weekend, and photos of that will come then.
*here are the three cages all finished*
