        So im going to switch my bunny to her NIC Condo this weekend.  In the room she is in the floor is vinyl.  But I want to put something down over the vinyl becasue the floor can get cold in the winter months.  What is the best thing to put down?  I have seen those rubber mats that connect together that you use for kids in some pictures.  Do you think those are good?  I dont want to put towels down because I know they just tear at those and move them around.  I want something she cant move around.  Thanks everyone

          My bunnies also have vinyl floor for their condos. I buy them these to cover the floor: http://www.pet-super-store.com/html/Snoozy-Sleeper-Mat.html

          They are called “Snoozy Pads” and I buy them at my pet store (not sure if you have “Global Pet Food” stores where you are but I’m pretty sure most stores would carry them). They are made to put in dog crates and come in lots of different sizes.

          I just bought one last night for Olivia’s new condo. If you can’t find one big enough you can use several small ones. I find they are very fairly priced. If bunny doesn’t chew at them they last long as well. I first bought one of these pads when my lop was experiencing sore hocks and they made a huge difference. Since he has a big one in his cage, he hasn’t had sore hocks again. I swear by them. They are very comfy, thick and stay in place. Although, if you’re bun is a chewer make sure to keep an eye that she is not chewing the pads but if you get one big enough for the whole condo, she will probably just accept it as floor.

            The foam mats can be dangerous if chewed or dug up and ingested. If your bun is potty-trained, I would recommend a low-pile are rug with the edges outside of the pen. This makes one solid surface and it can be vacuumed with a small hand vac or vacuum attachment to clean it up.

              The last few times I have cleaned my bunnies NIC condo I have put fleece down. I put ceramic tiles on top of the fleece where they might try to dig it up. They seem to really like not sliding all over when they run. Just be careful, if they do try to eat it I would take it away.

                I will be moving this to the Habitats section soon. Leaders — if you see this still here after this weekend, can you move it for me? I just don’t want to move it right away to give a chance for others to see the move notice first.
