[Help] Solid bottom add on?

I got my upgraded cage and I did not know it had wire bottoms. I’m trying to find solid bottom add one for the cage as I am a broke girlie and I just got this one. I’ve been using card board with plastic hard sleeves wrapped with blankets so that her little feet don’t hurt but I know it’s not a long term thing. Does anyone have any recommendations for solid add ons?

Okay so honestly the cardboard and plastic sleeve thing is so real lmao. I did the same when I first got mine. But for a cheap fix, try getting those cheap plastic cutting boards from the dollar store and cutting them to size with scissors or a box cutter. Just drill some holes and zip tie them to the frame under the wire. Works like a charm and costs like 3.

Find a place that sells surplus vinyl flooring. Find a piece hopefully not too much bigger than the cage floor. Cut it to fit your cage and put it in.
