    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi there!

I'm trying to come up with a good substrate for my new BP cages. They are sealed wood, supposedly waterproof -BUT I am paranoid and want to protect the floors as best I can. Does anyone here use plastic shelf liners or linoleum type liners in wood cages? I was thinking of cutting the stuff to size and having extras to switch out when they get messy. I was also going to layer newspaper and aspen or coconut bark substrate over this for them to burrow in.

The guy who built the cages had a frog cage with a mini pond feature. He didn't have any problems with a wood cage, so I'm pretty sure it's well sealed. I just want to be sure I am preserving these cages as long as I can!

Are there any other things I should consider using?
 
I think you may have it covered but you can always seal them again just to ensure it. Reptizorb liners are good and you can also get indented Kraft paper from Uline. I would just use a liner like that and put some hides in there. They will also bury under the paper if you use multiple liners.
