Cut a large rectangle out of the bottom of the cage. Make sure the hole is slightly larger than your UTH of choice and that the hole does not get too close to the edge of the cage (for the integrity of the wood).

Then put in a foamed PVC floor, or a layer of sheetmetal covered with vinyl flooring. Either with conduct heat.

If this is for a monitor you may have to choose a more durable flooring.

The UTH can be attached to the exposed portion of the flooring underneath.
