What country are you in? What bins are available will vary depending upon this

Boxes that size are hard to find, the largest I think I've seen is this one which is just under what you want, even the largest RUB & Samla boxes are smaller than that.

Keep in mind you don't have to use just one bin.If done properly,you can use several bins but still get one area of floor space instead of a modular addition!

Yeah i just wanted to try and find the biggest box possible and join two together rather than attaching multiple bins but there doesnt seem to be many large boxes unfortunately!

You probably won't find a 100 cm long bin let alone more,which is unfortunate.The depth is quite manageable though,but I would still use several bins for most hamsters even if you managed a 80 cm length for example as this is still pretty small for quite a few species and individual hamsters!

It really isn't difficult to do a direct attachment with bins,since it's the same sort of technique as making holes for mesh windows that would need to be done with lids.The bins just need to be directly touching(or connected by another directly connected bin touching both,as is necessary with some bins plus this makes an excellent wheel area while allowing most of the floorspace to have deep substrate!)and zip tied together with a very large opening between.Some people cut entire sides off,which can be an option,but it is a lot harder than merely removing the majority of a side and creating an extremely large opening(just the edges remain,for structural integrity purposes).
