Getting A Bin Cage?
Ay-oh, e-rybody (idk)
In just a week or so, it's going to be Spunky's 1-year anniversary! As in, it's going to be exactly one year since I bought Spunky. Of course I’ll buy him something new
The thing I really want to get him is a bin cage. The bin I want to get is a 110 quart bin. I don’t want to make one of the bin cages with the front wire doors, but I do want to have a mesh/screen lid. I don’t know how, though.
Maybe I can use a reptile lid by cutting a hole in the lid and somehow fixing the reptile lid to the plastic one.
So, the cage Spunky currently has has wire bars, and maybe I can use the side with the door and tape it down on top of the bin - that way, there’s a door, there’s ventilation, he can’t escape, and he can’t get at the tape since it’s outside the bin.
Anyways, since the new cage won’t have any bars, I think I’m going to get a water bottle holder and fasten it onto the cage by using velcro. I might order a free-standing water bottle holder from Amazon instead because then I can move it around when I clean the cage. If anyone knows how to make a (high quality) DIY water bottle holder, please tell me!
So that’s all I’m going to do Thanks for reading and please do tell me your opinion. Bye!

Re: Getting A Bin Cage?
The best way to make a meshed lid is just to cut a panel out of the lid drill some holes or you can melt holes with a soldering iron then use cable ties to attach a piece of mesh cut to size.
I wouldn't use tape as I don't think you could rely on it staying in place or being totally safe & escape proof.

Ohh okay, I'll probably try that. I'm not getting the bin until basically a week from now, so I'll compare all my choices and choose the best one. Thanks!
