DIY 2 Billy Extensions
Hello Everyone one!
New member and new hamster mama here. I just got my first hamster since I was a little kid. I'm trying to learn and give him the best.
Anyways I made him a bin cage was is nice but I had it in my head that it wasn't what I wanted in the end but would work for a while. So recently I ordered 2 billy extensions to create the double cage that ErinsAnimals has a video for.
Well now I have 2 questions. Having 2 is enough floor space for my Syrian? And also I have discovered that his wheel is taller than the shelf walls. Suggestions or ideas for dealing with this and the lid?
Thanks you in advance for the help and advice!

Re: DIY 2 Billy Extensions
I would say that it is a big enough cage for a Syrian, but you have run into the common problem of not having enough height for the wheel.
If you scroll down to number 8 on this page, you can see how you could potentially make a lid to allow height for the wheel.

Or you could do something like FelicityAnn did
Wheel too high for cage

Re: DIY 2 Billy Extensions
I suggest making a raised lid. It will probably be more difficult (I'm rubbish at DIY), but then you could have some added height. I think Erin's Animals doesn't have a lid on hers, but I wouldn't suggest that, especially not for a Syrian.
