I'm going to be building a degu cage for 2-3 degus. I need some ideas as to what material the base should be. I don't think it should be wood because the pee may soak through the bedding making the wood smell. Any alternatives? Thanks!

As long as you make sure the non-veneered edging is protected, possibly by edging it with kiln-dried pine and sealing the join with a non-toxic silicon sealant (things that are anti-mould/mildew are toxic and not suitable) then melamine/furniture board would be a good, wipeable solution
