Ah yes thanks for that I was wondering what to cover it with Lino is a good suggestion, I clean the buns every other day so I'll do the ratties then too so hopefully I can keep it as clean as possible I have hibiscrub to clean everything with as well
Hum.... Would vet bed work? As I can take it out and pop it in the machine, I know they will put wholes in it the buns do too

I was going to suggest fleece, but i bet vet bed would work too:thumb:
Id love to use fleece/vetbed for the mice but theyre manky pooheads:lol:

All the cardboard wood or other bits would fall through the holes did the plastic shelves come with yours? If not where did you get them?
I can only think of using strips of kitchen towel for now until I can come up with something else if you think vet bed won't work lol
Looks great! Lots of people take out the shelves completely. There's no need to have the bottom one in at all, not sure why they include it tbh. There's a few examples in this thread http://www.fancy-rats.co.uk/community/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=116034&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=30
