Default Re: Iris Christmas Tree bin cage help/pointers/suggestions

I wasn't too clear on the 'cage depth' item. Ultimately, the depth of the bin with the lid on is 14"/35cm(only 11"/28cm with the lid off).

I changed my mind a dozen times, but I finally dove in this weekend and made some decisions. One half of the bin has ventilation cut in each side and the end(put the mesh on the outside). I cut the area up 'high', but still the most bedding depth I can have at that side is 5"/12cm. I also cut out the top out for ventilation (covered with mesh). The other half has nothing cut in the sides of the bin (so only the ventilation on the top) so that more bedding can be piled up over there.

I get that the bedding won't necessarily stay on the 'deep' side, so not really sure how well this will work. Also, not sure how I will work out the wheel. The recommended wheel size means I'd have to have almost no bedding to accommodate the wheel.

Thanks to Cypher for the thoughts and comments. I would appreciate any other ideas/thoughts as well.
