ok so i got sweet lil chinese hamster (her name's dolly :3) from the pet store and right now she's living in a tiny tales cage she's been active and friendly but i wanna give her a bigger space to run around in. i have a 16x21in sterilite bin already in my house and although i know that's under the minimum but... my mom told me that her friend was in need of a new aquarium for his turtle and that she'd ask for his old aquarium (which is bigger than the bin i have and definitely exceeds the minimum amount of space for a hamster enclosure). so would it be ok if i fixed up that bin for her and had her in there while i wait to get something bigger? i'm just kind of worried about freaking her out... sorry if this comes off as amateurish and/or annoying btw, i'm a first time hammy owner and i'm just so scared of hurting her or anything
