Hamster Central - View Single Post - Has anyone made DIY custom-built cages?

I came across an older thread today while looking for an Alaska set up - and someone on the thread had a Malm cage! I had forgotten about that. I'm guessing it's the Ikea Malm chest of drawers - 100 x 80 x 48 - put together but without the drawers.

So you'd get 100 x 80 cm frame with 48cm height - plenty of room for bedding! And I guess it would need a mesh and wood lid making.

MALM Chest of 4 drawers - white - IKEA

This was the thread (it's near the end and you can't see much from the photo)

Would anyone like their cage featured?

You can buy a 100cm cage for that price - but this is bigger than a 100cm cage - and they're probably available second hand as well.
