Thx used circular saw in the end was slightly off even with clamping good enough for first attempt. If i was todo it again would have used jigsaw with starrett dual cut blade (clean cut every time!).

This is revision 2 of the cage, first one did not have an upper platform and had to use wood shavings till I could get some Burlybed bedding. Few things i've found with my Syrian hamster is she loves the corners so much i woke up to find that she nearly made it through to honeycomb structure. In the photo's you'll see I got some vinyl floor planks (easier to fit than square one's less cutting!) I laid these on the bottom of the floor and edges. I used the foam that the ikea glass came and stuck it on with doublesided tape to stop the shaving's leaking from onto the floor. Also put a piece of stripwood on by the glass so there was not a space!
