Smile Bin Cage.

So we have decided that a bin cage is gonna be the best idea. We have found mesh and a box but we don't know if it is the right sizes.

The box we chose is 75 Litre Plastic Storage Box on Wheels from argos. Is that big enough?? And the mesh is from B&Q. Length (mm): 900, Width (mm): 600. Is that small enough??

I think the one they are talking about is this one: Buy 75 Litre Plastic Storage Box on Wheels - Clear at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Storage baskets and boxes.
What type of hamster is it for?

I am struggling to find a box for them. They are both Syrians but they are on either side of the size scale. :/.

If anyone can help me find a suitable box, I'd be grateful.

That is what Greyjoy is in he is a very happy hamster It allows you to get a very good height of wheels in and we have added a shelf for more space. It is a nice thick plastic, easy to cut with a heated craft knife with no splitting.
