Bin carriers?
I know i've seen it before somewhere but i just can't find it :/
Anyway, seeing as i only have one hamster carrier and 3 hamsters to take to great alne, i thought it'd be a good idea to make some instead of buying more
So i would use small straoge boxes with the lid meshed.
I asked my mum and shes fine with the idea so i'm hoping to go shopping and see what storage bins i can find!
I have some mesh left over from doing Treos cabinet cage and i'll hopefully borrow my grandads soldering iron
Any tips/ideas/suggestions? I'm thinking of decorating it somehow and i'd love it to have a handle, but thats a bit ambitious

Re: Bin carriers?
I was going to make one too, mine will probably be the size of a bunny carrier! Spoilt smudge... You could maybe put stickers on? Or with fabric paint you could put there names on? good luck! I'm gonna post a pic if I make one x

Re: Bin carriers?
We go to the pound shop and buy the ..well £1 ones. You don't really need to mesh the lids as these are only for travel. We use a drill and put plenty holes in the lid. For travel we prefer the opaque ones like red or blue so the ham feels secure though the lids are see through. You could attach a water bottle and drill a hole for this but we just use a nice chunk of cucumber for fluid. The boxes are around 14in cubed I think and they do very well for us :0

Re: Bin carriers?
Thankyou I'll be sure to check my poundshops and maybe I will just drill holes!
The coloured boxes will look nice too

Re: Bin carriers?
Went out shopping today and got the bins
They cost a little under £3 cause i wanted the big ones
They are 14.5 litre and measure approx 22x32cm
I made sure they were opaque ones like souffle suggested and they have a useful double flap opening lid (if you know what i mean)
Haven't decided who will go in the bins or ferplast aladino carrier yet though :/
I also got some wilkinsons own brand hamster food to add to my own homemade mix for variety and bulk, anyone know if its any good?
Its just a cheap food to help save some money.
I found some adorable chew toys in the pet shop too, which i'll show you later
