You can always expand the bin eventually by direct attachment of several bins(in fact,it can go above and beyond the Detolf but be more mobile!).As long as you have secure attachment,use appropriately sized mesh,and don't attach with tubes(or any other way that is not direct,meaning large sections of walls only,no tiny holes and such!) this is a great choice for housing Syrians,as it can be expanded as needed unlike premade cages or something like the Detolf which would not be easy to expand(possible,but extremely heavy and impractical in sizing and shape).
Attached cages don't really count as floor space imo, and it's a large flying saucer, not a medium one - his back is perfectly straight on it.
