Junior Guinea Pig
Hello there again.
I'm looking into creating a large playpen for my piggies if/when I want to take them outside of the basement for floor time, and as a more secure place to keep them while I'm cleaning. I'd also like to find a way to securely take them upstairs to where some more natural sunlight is, as I've heard it's good for them. Ideally, it's going to be a large amount of grids linked together with cable ties, or this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V9QDW5...olid=1A8XR60L34K2Q&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
I'm trying to figure out what I could use to line it though. My mind immediately jumped to a large shower curtain liner, just to protect the floor from any wees. That way I can quickly wipe up any wees I see as well. I've heard of people using shower liners as a flooring before as well. But I've also heard of people also using bath mats, yoga mats, towels, or even making custom fleece liners for their floor time. Does anyone have any particular preference for one over the other, and why?
The majority of the floors are hardwood and tile, and by majority I mean all, so it's not a super huge deal to have a totally waterproof liner. I just don't think wee on the floor upstairs in the living room or dining room would be the most appreciated though.
I've also seen that a lot of shower curtain liners have been treated to be mildew-resistant, which worries me. Anything treated around guinea pigs sounds potentially dangerous, though I don't know for sure. There's always a change that the piggy could chew on it too!
