Hmm, the inside measurements are 605 x 370mm so it would be just a few cm too small for a pair of dwarves, and quite a lot too small for a Syrian.
I wonder if they sell bigger ones?

Thanks for the really useful tutorial, but I'd like to know if the ventilation holes are necassary?

Where do you get the mesh from? Trying so hard to find some! (in the uk)

B&Q, Wilkinsons, some garden centres, DIY stores, ebay... There're lots of places

Those are tiny They're even smaller than a mini duna and are nowhere near tall enough for a wheel.

ETA You need something as close to 80 by 50 cm as you can get, and tall enough for an 8 or 12 inch wheel, so something more like 110 litres rather than 8.

Ouch, yup too small. Ikea have the SAMLA and then there's the good old wilkos bin..

Unfortunately, the Wilkos bin is marginal on height for an 8 inch wheel

[mangoandmimi]

Damn.. didn't know that. well, alright for a robo or a flying saucer then
