'Quote' bin

[Queen Of The High Teas]

Hi guys,

Long time no post! I've had losses and newbies since I was last on here, so I've been doing some updating and switching around. The wooden cages I had made from an ikea bookcase are sadly no more, as due to the awful wet weather earlier in the year, I noticed that the back had gone damp and mouldy. I thought I could replace it, but upon closer inspection, it was obvious they were no good and would have to be thrown. I couldn't bear to chuck them lol, so I converted them back into a shelving unit, and now use them to stand the cages on. I also managed to salvage the top one, which was undamaged, and I've converted it into a harvest mouse tank, so at least its not been wasted.

The three dwarves I have left are in bin cages (the 62lt ones), and at the moment so is Sunny the Syrian, but I want a new bigger set up for him. I have thought of either a cage that is a specific size, or a bigger bin, but I can't remember if the taller/bigger version of the wilko bin is big enough, nor can I remember the make/name to google it! I *think* it was called a 'quote' but I'm really not sure on that. Does anyone have this bin, or know if its big enough, or even cage recommendations? Thanks.

I think the largest wilko bin is about 350 sq. inches. I'm going out to get one tomorrow as I'm having to change one of the bins in my set-up because I'm getting a bigger wheel. Anyway, personally, I would possibly use it for a dwarf but if I was going to use it for a syrian I would stack two on top of each other or link two side by side just to give some extra space.

If you live near the range they have 133 l wham bins for £12.99 but someone has just got one in a previous thread

If you've got a Dunelm Mill near youI've just been looking and I found a bin that is 450 sq. inches so that might be good or you could connect a couple of them.

It's ok, I've now got the 133lt one and converted it into a cage. I was struggling to find it because I was sure it was a 'quote' (or something) not a 'wham' bin.
