Drilled holes instead of mesh?

Good luck! I am just waiting for Penny to make the ceramic holder impossible to use. lol

I'll have to find them in the US in September.

Java is like the most in heat I have EVER seen. I was just giving her pats and she stuck her tail up and froze and stood so well. It's almost a shame she'll never use these bins except to play in.

Sooo funny you said that! I had Penny in my lap and Gizmo running around the room and he crawled on my lap and they came nose to nose and boy did they want to get together! For the record, they did NOT! But after that, I put her in her playpen and Gizmo was trying so hard to get in there. lol And Penny did something odd.. she was running on her wheel and kept freezing and sticking her tail in the air. He was close enough I guess to make her freeze without touching her. Even if I was a breeder, I would never breed her. I think she would cull. She's way too spazzy.

Sooo... We got like 1/4 of a bin done.

I cut out the mesh and clipped it flush. Then my SO used the dremel to sand it down. Once that was done we used a different attachment on the dremel to cut I to the plastic.

I got enough mesh cut for the two smaller bins but one one piece is sanded down and only one panel cut. This may take longer than expected. Tips? Sanding down the mesh is what takes the longest but we don't want anyone getting cut

So we realised we need about 400 more bolts and screws, and more mesh... this will take a while. Thankfully they can't escape since they're too tall, and even more so as they're uninhabited.

We're going to take a trip to a warehouse to grab more supplies asap.

We should have called ourselves "Fort Knox Hamstery"...

We need 300 more screws and bolts and 600 more washers to complete the 4 bin cages. Eep. Trying to buy screws and bolts online in bulk.

Holy Mackeral! I thought these things were supposed to be easy to make? These better be very happy hamsters after all of this!
