Default Finished addon

So I finally finished adding on to Zero ' original bin and I've gotta say I'm extremely happy with it. As some of you know I had bought a big 105 qt. bin and was going to cut out a wall on each and connect. Here's what I did.
Side view.


Length wise view.


Different parts of the cage:




And Zero having fun:

That looks a really nice size for him, how's he liking it?
You've done a good job of joining the two bins, the only thing I would be concerned about is what looks like black tape around the mesh at the back there, is that something that's going to be safe if he decides to chew it?

Great job Culprit, I agree with Cypher about the black tape round the mesh, Hams are very nosey and this will make him curious. These tapes can be very sticky even if it's already stuck down to something.

It's been in there since I got him and he hasn't done anything. Thanks guys! He was really liking it a lot, looking now at my old bin I'm shocked at how little space he actually had. Now he has plenty of room to run!

Lol that was me! I still need to fix the lids, because I was in a little bit of a rush that night, atm each lid comes up and there is a little gap, so I cut a small rectangle out of the end of the original lid so it fits under the big bins lid, so I will now just ziptie them together - otherwise it won't be secure enough.

I'll post some pictures of it when I do them. Right now I'm holding them down with books

Your add on to your bin cage looks really good - you've done a good job joining the bin cages like this. Zero must love it.

He really does SKB_Hamsters and thanks! It really was more work then it should have been... Could have made it a lot easier on myself if I had made sure that they were the same width/height lol.
