What substrate do you have on the floor?

I've used washable incontinence pads for years. The boys I had were in a hutch in summer, and the small pads were a perfect size for the rooms in there, and the large ones do the inside cage, which the girls have always been in. We're now getting a 8 by 6 shed, which will be too large to cover in pads (which would need to be changed multiple times a week- I already do a ton of washing and don't need any more). The rabbits have pads in their shed, but since they're litter trained I just put them under the trays and in their snooze area, so I haven't had to cover it all, but with the guineas peeing wherever they like I would.

I'm thinking of putting lino down to protect the wood but then what?

Bumping this for replies!

My guineas have :
extra wooden boards (our pighouse is getting on a bit so I needed to do some repairs)
tarpaulin
cardboard
puppy pads
newspaper

The newspaper/pads get replaced every week ( the bedding in their hutches gets changed every 1-2 days depending how mucky they are )

I've used Ecobale (equine chopped cardboard) or shredded loo-roll tubes on the floors too.

Thanks, 70. Apparently the shed needs a new bottom, so that will be solid. I'm thinking lino, then puppypads. Maybe I'll throw some newspaper down as well.

I don't tend to need to change their bedding, as they just eat it before I get the chance!
