Bin Cage?
Hi,
I want to make my hamster (Cyrus) a bin cage.
However i have 2 dogs and a cat so i will need something with holes to go over the top.
Any ideas what i could do.
If i do make a bin cage, what would be a good size?
Answer wanted soon going shopping tomoz at 11 with mum and it will be her christmas present along with a new toy

Re: Bin Cage?
ikea do a box which would be a good size for a bin cage:
SAMLA Box - transparent, 79x57x42 cm/130 l - IKEA
and then just put the mesh in the lid rather than on the sides so your pets cant put their claws through the mesh to get to the hamster

Re: Bin Cage?
B&Q sell big sheets (I'd say roughly 150cmx130cm) for £6.50ish

Re: Bin Cage?
Or you can use the panels of a hamster playpen that is how I made mine and it meant I didn't need to use wirecutters.

Re: Bin Cage?
Using the panels is such a clever idea! I haven't even thought of that before
Alternatively you can just drill holes in. Just make sure there is enough

This looks similar to my bin cage, except I have air holes in the top and a large area on the side for the bars... in retrospect I would have put it on the top instead tbh, as Hjalmar has taken to chewing the bars. I might switch to mesh so he doesn't damage his teeth.

Re: Bin Cage?
Iv got a bin cage but Squeak uses it as a burrowing box and it's half filled with carefresh. The mesh to make it was from Wicks, but could she chew through it? The mesh cost about £3
