I keep Indy on indoor/outdoor carpet I bought at Home Depot. I got a piece big enough for 2 cage liners for about $2. I think it looks nice. I spot clean w/ papertowels & change the carpet every week or so.

I use rubber matting made from recycled Tyres. Generally it's used to line the backs of Utes so tools etc.. won't damage the tray, also for playgrounds. It doesn't melt under the light or put off any fumes. Easy to clean with a hose, and drys fairly quick in the sun. James Wilson uses Astro turf - he was the reason i looked into this rubber flooring. The best thing about these kinds of surfaces is the fact that you can find out if you have a male or female alot easier because you will be able to actually see the seminal plugs that Blueys drop. Also, It stops breathing difficulties caused from dirt, sand etc.. Your blueys stay cleaner too!

Thanks for the idea - I think I know what your describing, but do you have a pic of it to make sure? I'd love to see a pic of your setup.

Thanks!
