The bottles are very cheap to buy and depends what kind of wheel you like, probably cheaper to buy them :) xxx

You could use a bowl, as long as its on a ledge as bedding will be kicked into it other wise.
Wheel wise, i've seen people make homemade ones from pans for chinchillas. I would just pick one up from the pet shop or try ebay or a boot sale

I've seen a few DIY tutorials for wheels using stainless steel dog dishes and cake tins; here's a couple of tutorials for making a metal degu wheel (which will work fine for hamsters too!)
