Brilliant Bin Cage Idea

[Goliath]

Okay, so do you guys know like food storage tubs and stuff? Well you could turn them into a sort of connectable bin cage, ya know? You could used.... I'm not exactly sure what for the tubing, but it couldn't be that hard to figure out, right? So....

Tupperware
Mesh (optional type of ventilation)
PVC pipes (tubing to connect)
Possible a bin for man cage


Voila!
Maybe I'll even try this. I don't know if I can afford the supplies though. But if you wanted it completely customized... ya know.
Besides, the tupperware possibly comes in different colors (i've seen it.)

[Goliath]

Okay or not... Nobody else think this is kind of a cool idea?

Are you meaning as, like, an add-on bed, or a sand room or something? Tuppaware tends to be quite small, and it'd be a lot of effort to connect something so small.

[Goliath]

Not small tupperware. I mean like.... I don't know, as add ons and little rooms to add onto a bin cage so as not to have to buy the obnoxious add ons of a normal cage. This way you stick with the customized version and every piece is openable.

Okay, maybe it wasn't that great of an idea...

Just be careful with hand made cages...I unfortunately learned the hard way with one of my older hams...home ideas can be a great way to save money, but your best bet is to ask someone else who has already done something what you should do. Trial and error can be heartbreaking

In theory yes, as long as it was safe and gave adequate floor space in each 'pod'.

Personally I think hamsters prefer a large expance of floor space rarther than lots of little areas, and it would be a pig to clean with all those sections and tubes!

[Goliath]

I suppose. But if you're into all those little hidey holes and things it could be a really great thing.

So you create something like a rotastak? i like the idea, but i'd use it as an addon to liek a bin cage or something... in small boxes you dont get much room for toys x

There are all sizes of tupperware you know. :/
