Very long, large box for bin cage

[shoshannah]

Hi, my hamster has a pets at home cage and its 51cm in length, 34 cm width and 26 cm height. I want a bigger cage to space out the toys and leave him room to run. I was considering getting the zoozone 2 but want to try making a bin cage first. The problem is i can't find one long enough or big enough. Any one know were to search for one?](*,)

Ikea make a great bin called the SAMLA. No doubt, other members will recommend it to you as well. Its a great size, fairly cheap and high quality

Thats the one. Thanks :). Not quite as big as the zoozonne2 but not far off. It's the biggest bin i've ever found.

I don't think they sell it anymore as somebody else made a thread today asking which shop for big bins, so I looked on wilko's and I couldn't see it. I found a link you put to that 6mm on a thread some time back and when I clicked on it, the wilkos website said 'page not found'.

The mesh cannot be any bigger than 8mm!

You can buy panels of mesh in Wickes. Something like 60cm by 80cm for £3.

Wickes 6mm Galvanised Mesh Panel, 600x900mm | Wickes.co.uk (http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-6mm-Galvanised-Mesh-Panel%2C-600x900mm/p/187720)

That one is 6mm and depending on how big you want your mesh holes, it's pretty convenient because you might not even have to cut it.
