I would like to make some bins for my hammies because they are a lot roomier and you can also do so much more with them. I have always used fish tanks and was wondering where in the U.S. you can get the wiring for the holes that you cut? Any help would be much appreciated.

I know some people cannibalise old wire cages and use panels of those, I've got narrow wire mesh before just from a diy/hardware store. Here in the UK some narrow mesh is actually marketed for use in making animal cages/hutches/runs etc.
Check out the Hamster Central articles page for some good "how-to's" on making bin cages.
Thanks I will definately try my local hardware store. I just love the idea of being able to make something for my hammies and having fun while doing it. I love them so much.

Some people will use old birdcages or hamster cages for their bins to kind of fancy them up a bit. For example my first bin cage has part of an old hamster frame on the front with the door. But I don’t find having that is important. I went to Sears hardware here in the US and bought some good mesh for a couple bucks a foot. If you are housing dwarfs you’ll want mesh that’s smaller then a inch wide.
You could pretty much try any hardware store for wire mesh, its cheap and easy to cut.
Just a quick question
Candace your links are not working for me??
