i need to put lino under the buns cage but last time i tried sticking it to the skirting boards and it just slid off! :evil:

i got rid of it in the end but it isn't easy to clean the carpet in there!

is there a way to stick it to the carpet, or will i have to stick lino to a base like a piece of plywood?

thanks :wave:
 
Use duct tape to stick the lino to the carpet - you can double side it under the lino or tape round the edges of the lino.
 
all hay gets down the back of the cage and it is a nightmare to move the cage and clean behind. i wanted to put plywood on wheels but then when i go in the cage to clean it and change the blankets, i would probably crush the wheels! :oops:
 
If the cage is against the wall, can you not put something on the inside of the cage to stop the hay falling through?

yeh, i want to. just don't know what! thought of plywood and cable tie it... but they would probably chew it! :roll:
 
What about those sticky vinyl floorboard things, thats what ive got round the base of the dog crate, i just stuck them back to back with one another and they are pretty good at keeping the hay in, its like having a skirting board round the crate.
If you need it to be higher then maybe the vinyl floor tiles, or a sheet of perspex?

it would need to be on the inside of the cage because when i tried putting a thick edging strip of wood on the outside, the hay just got into the gap between the bars and the wood! :evil: i just took it away then because i was scared to put it inside incase they chewed it and it wasn't safe wood or something :roll: (even though it came with the hutch they had, as a panel to stop them going under the hutch!)

any ideas anyone? or what would would be safe for them to chew?

i thought of putting those wooden bridge things along the edge or some basic willow mats, so they could chew them and they could just be replaced. but then i get paranoid they will eat the cable ties! :roll::oops:
 
velcro tape? stick it to the underside of the line, leave it for a while to make sure it fixes to the lino. Then put it on the carpet and the hooks should hold it steady?
