I am getting a guinea pig on tuesday for my birthday but i cant get the coroplast for the c&c cage until friday, would i have any problem with putting just the fleece on the bottom until then?

Please put a waterproof layer between floor and the fleece liner (which consists of a fleece top and an absorbent underlay).
A DIY plastic protection sheet (like for painting), a plastic shower curtain or even 3 rolls of Ikea cupboard liners will do. Give them a clean afterwards and keep them for emergencies.
You can see how it works in this thread here: Temporary Housing Solutions?

Are you getting just the one or a pair, or already have one you plan to pair off with the newbie? Just that piggies are herd animals and need the constant company of their own kind - whether that’s in the same cage or side by side.

We don’t use coroplast for our c&c cage. We use a plastic picnic liner to protect carpet towels then fleece on top. Love it! Although hay does get out much easier this way

I don't use coroplast. It's just plastic at the bottom then paper underneath the fleece line. My cage liner has very good absorbent layer in the middle (bought it from Ziggy's Piggies) and it never gets wet underneath.

We are going to extend the grids a few on monday..I am going to steal sport_billy and anyar.dris ideas..just because the ladies have decided that bar biting was not good enough, they started ripping off the coroplast for attention to let them out..and it is a tad expensive to get it delivered.

We have to hoover 3x a day anyway
