A piece of 3/8 or 1/2 inch plywood across the bottom attached to the
outside will do the trick. My cage is about the same size, I made a frame
of 1 x 4 wood, attached casters (home depot) to that frame. Works fine.
On the inside, have a galvanized metal pan from a rabbit cage. THe poop
box is down there. Also, I had Plexiglas strips cut (home depot) from thin
sheets, 3 inches wide. These were put along the bottom edge of the floors
to keep toys and other spillage inside the cage. They are held in place by
drilling a small hole on either side of one of the cage wires, and then
fish a wire tie to hold it. A hole on a diagonal on either side of an 'x'
of cage wire joints will hold the strip from moving in any direction.
