Hamster Central - View Single Post - Holes in bin cage not mesh and correct size

Schwartzie · 06-04-2019, 06:06 AM

Hi everyone,

I have a bin that is almost the correct size 60cmx48cm - would this be ok for a bin cage?

We have two cats and with the limited research I have done - I have only re-embarked on researching owning a hamster recently so am getting going - I am going with a bin cage. With us having cats I am not keen on any mesh in case the cat uses the small spaces as a way of traumatising the hamster. Is it ok to drill lots - stacks - of holes in the lid and the top section of the sides of the bin cage instead of using mesh?
