I'd like to know this too - i've seen someone on here with like a rubber matting but dont know where to get it from?
Equestrian supply shops will probably do some sort of rubber matting. I'm a bit dubious though - if a bun takes to munching on it I'd imagine it would be rather dangerous if ingested :? I know my two have a thing for the rubber buttons on my remote, so *personally* I wouldn't use rubber.
Carpet could be good? I just use plain old newspaper

I have a rubber exercise mat wrapped in a fleecy blanket. sorrel did once chew a hole in it to aid her escape :roll: but i dont think she actually ingested any of it.
maybe vetbed or some soft blankety thing? it depends what they tend to chew on! i wouldnt use carpet with them being rexes.

Good old fashioned....
Carpet. It also helps cause any stray food megazorb and hay sticks to it rather than cascading onto the floor. I find if you choose a colour close the base of the dog cage tray they are less likely to chew as they arent hot on colours either.
Rubber matting I uave used but carpets cosy Im think.:thumb:

I put cardboard on base of upperlevels of my homemade built cage, but my two are eating away at it. I cant use carpet, cause if they can, they chew and dig it up (although so far so good on ground floor) and have tried a fleece cushion bed in the past, they also chew that! No idea what to use that they wont eat, and if they do, then at least its safe!!

I use fleece for upper levels.
Don't use carpet, especially for rexes, it can be very harsh on their feet and cause sore hocks.
A lot of things can work though, vet bed, fleece etc if your bunny is litter trained, if not you're better of with lino or something like that.
