Ground cover for Indoor C&C Run 140 cm

Trixie Bottom Cover for Indoor C&C Run 140 cm

The Trixie Bottom Cover for the Indoor C&C Run 140 cm is the matching base for the modular wire cube run measuring approx. 140 × 70 cm. This bottom cover makes the run neater, more comfortable, and more practical to use. The cover helps protect the floor under the run and gives guinea pigs more grip when the run is placed on a slippery floor.

DRD views this floor cover as an important basic accessory for the Indoor C&C Run. The run itself is supplied without a floor, making this floor cover a logical addition when using the run as a guinea pig cage or a spacious indoor run. This way, you turn the loose panels into a clearly defined, comfortable space for your guinea pigs.

Pros

✔ Water-repellent and practical for everyday use
✔ Protects the floor under the run better against moisture and dirt
✔ Provides more grip than a smooth floor
✔ Reinforced edge with foam padding for a neater shape
✔ Easy to clean with a cloth

Why choose a floor cover for the C&C Ren?

A C&C run usually sits directly on the floor. This provides guinea pigs with plenty of nice running space, but without a bottom, the surface can get dirty or feel slippery more quickly. This bottom cover forms a practical intermediate layer between the run and your floor. As a result, the setup remains more organized and the run is more pleasant to use.

Grip is important for guinea pigs. On a slippery floor, they are more likely to slide or walk unsteadily. The bottom cover provides more grip for their paws and makes the enclosure more comfortable. Especially when using the C&C Run as a permanent indoor guinea pig cage, a suitable floor is not a luxury but a very logical foundation.

The water-repellent property helps to better protect the floor against moisture, spills, and minor accidents. The cover is not intended as the sole absorbent layer for intensive daily use, but rather as a protective base. On top of this, you can use fleece, pee pads, toilet bedding, or a designated hay/pee zone.

Does this floor fit the Indoor C&C Run 140 cm?

Yes, this ground sheet is intended for the 140 cm Indoor C&C Run. The dimensions are approximately 140 × 70 cm, matching the basic setup of the run. If you use extra panels to enlarge the run, one ground sheet may be too small for the full extended setup.

When expanding, you can use the ground cover as a base, for example under the head section, and work with additional mats, fleece, or other bedding. Think carefully about the layout beforehand: where will the hay corner be, where are the hiding places, and which part do you want to be able to clean most easily?

For which animals is this bottom cover suitable?

• Guinea pig: very suitable as flooring for the Indoor C&C Run. The cover provides grip, protects the floor, and makes the run more comfortable as an indoor enclosure.
• Rabbit: suitable when the Indoor C&C Run is temporarily used as an indoor run under supervision. Please note that rabbits may gnaw; check the cover regularly.

For small rodents such as mice, hamsters, and gerbils, this ground cover is not intended as a standalone bedding solution. The ground cover is part of the Indoor C&C Run, and that run is not suitable as a primary enclosure for these small, escape-prone animals.

Use for guinea pigs

For guinea pigs, this bottom cover works best as a base layer. Lay the cover flat, place the C&C Run neatly around or on top of it, and then furnish the run with hiding places, a hay corner, water, food, and optionally extra pee pads. This creates an organized guinea pig cage with clearly defined zones.

Because guinea pigs urinate frequently and often make the messiest around the hay corner, it is wise to use extra protection there. Consider a pee mat, litter bedding, or a separate hay corner. The bottom cover protects the surface, but an extra absorbent layer makes daily maintenance easier.

Use for rabbits

For rabbits, this floor cover can be used when the C&C Run is temporarily used as an indoor run or enclosure under supervision. The cover helps protect the floor and provides more grip than a smooth surface.

Always use this product with rabbits. Rabbits can dig, pull, and gnaw on edges. Therefore, regularly check that the bottom cover remains clean and remove it if any damage occurs.

Cleaning and maintenance

The bottom cover is easy to clean. You can wipe away small spots with a cloth. Be sure to remove wet or dirty residue promptly and allow the bottom to dry thoroughly if it has become damp. This keeps the run fresher and more pleasant for your animals.

• Sweep away loose hay and feed residues daily.
• Wipe away stains with a slightly damp cloth.
• For guinea pigs, use extra absorbent layers on areas prone to urine leakage.
• Let the floor cover dry thoroughly before fully re-furnishing it.
• Check the edges regularly for signs of gnawing or wear.

A practical layout makes cleaning easier. For example, place an extra pee mat under the hay rack or hay corner so that you don't have to clean the entire floor every time.

Complete your C&C Ren

This floor cover is the logical foundation for the Indoor C&C Run. Combine it with extra panels, hiding places, and a designated hay corner for a practical guinea pig setup.
