If you follow the plastic floor advice above, here is what you can do:
1. Cut out the rectangle on the floor such that your heat pad can fit. There are heat pads that are 6x8 inches. That will be a good size
2. Cut the plastic piece to fit over the cage inside bottom. It can fit loosely, no problem.
3. Now paint the inside of the cage with the polyurea product if that is your choice. Polyurea may take a few weeks to fully cure, but when it does, it will have no odor at all and be like a thin layer of plastic over the wood. Doesn't look really nice, kind of like tar, but oh boy is it the most durable finish you can get. Kind of like tar, lol.
4. Place the plastic floor down (I used liquid nails for small projects) and caulk it in. Or use epoxy putty to fill the gap if you want the seal to withstand constant scrubbing for the life of the cage.
