Looking for some housing advice for my ham! I've had my female Syrian hamster, Penelope for a few months now. I upgraded her from a pets at home XL cage to a bigger bin cage a couple months ago however I know she could still do with more room and also height so I can give her more substrate. She is a very active hamster and an OBSESSIVE bar chewer so cannot have bars. Also, as a uni student it needs to be semi-practical for travel ie. not super heavy or hard to move around (I know this is not an ideal living situation for her). If I were living at home I wouldn't hesitate to get her a detolf but due to my circumstances, I can't.
I've looked at upgrading her to a larger bin cage but I can't find a storage box being sold in the UK that is large enough. The only cage I've found that may be suitable is the ferplast large maxi duna- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ferplast-Ma...c=1&th=1&psc=1
If anyone has any opinions/ experience on this cage they are very much welcome as well as any other suggestions for other cages.
The 145l really useful box from Wickes is the only other box suitable for a bin cage conversion i can think of. It doesn't have wheels but can be lifted by handles.

Thank you both for your replies. I don't know why I thought that the zoozone had built in features for rabbits/guineas but now I know you can take them out it sounds perfect. I just had a quick look and managed to find a zoozone 2 on Facebook marketplace for £40 with mesh already installed and only up the road from me so am going to collect that later. Hopefully Penny likes it! Will post a pic when I get it all set up.
