Unless you have a clever Hamster who learns how to unscrew the bolts LOL
Sorry but I had two girls learn they could undue the bolts with their mouths and that was when I switched to wire ties instead of bolts. I found Velcro worked for awhile but eventually the tape sticky got unsticky. I wonder if you could make a slit and push the metal hanger through the bins side to secure the bottle?

Over all the bins look awesome and I bet no Hamster would not love that bin

Thanks Nancy. I really hope no hamsters learn to unbolt them... We used the big drill to tighten them. I can't even get them off with my fingers!

I tried through the mesh, but it's 1/4" so it didn't want to fit, unfortunately. I put it low to the ground so wee ones could reach it. If I can find a smaller bottle nose I could try. We are always looking for new ideas with our bottles, given Java's... Adventures.

Hekomi, those look incredible! Tell Andrew that the edges look very professional.

I will let him know! That was the best bin out of the three fully completed ones. He used masking tape or something to block out where to cut.

Unfortunately by the bigger bin mesh time, my pliers (and hands) were getting worn out, so I managed to pull a few pieces free... so hence the squares of missing mesh =/
