there is a section about making a bin cage..you can just mesh the top but its totally free range for you. Hes my bin when i first made it (my first go)

sorry im super tired so cant write more, lots will though

i think mine is an 85l bin, i got it for £6 and i got my 1cm mesh from wilkos.

I wouldnt bother with 2 dishes..i scatter feed my hams, makes it more natural! Ensure your wheel is at least 8" in diameter as smaller can hurt their spines.

i have the 130L bin for Smokey (from Ikea)

It was very easy to make, and VERY cheap, the bin cost £10 and i had all the rest.

I have now also added a shelf.
