Indoor cage for bunnies that's fit for purpose

We rescued a bunny a couple of years ago and he was easy to litter train so had a 120cm cage with a run attached but spent all evening hopping round the living room. Then back in March we rescued a second bunny who we gradually introduced to bunny 1 and all was fab (after bunny 2 had had 2 operations due to previous poor care - he was only 4 months when we got him). Anyway, he's not even vaguely interested in litter training so we had to buy a larger cage. Ended up with a chicken coop as it was the only thing we found big enough and it sits in the conservatory. Being wood they've nibbled it and we wee leaks through the base. I miss the ease of the old plastic cage and hate having wee on the floor every day, even with a plastic table cloth under it.
Does anyone have a suggestion for an indoor cage that's a good size with a deep base?
I've seen this

Or I have a metal run with no roof that would be good if I could source some kind of base.

Any ideas?

You could use carpet tiles for the base, but turn them upside down so the rubber is facing up (much easier to clean).

I went to a local carpet shop and gtit an off cut of lino that I put a large metal run on for my two whilst we litter trained them. It worked really well. I have a feeling they gave it to me for free but I'm sure it wouldn't be expensive.
I'd be careful with the edges of it if either are chewers though!

I have just got this one to keep my rabbits in at night and I am thrilled with it. They do an even bigger one but this was the biggest we could accommodate. Good price too!
