Whilst I was away... my dad made my bin cage for me

I'm going to get him to put a round hole in one of the sides for the tube to go down from the savic/rotastak cages



If anyone is reading this and has a bin cage... do you think it has enough ventilation? There are only the 2 cage meshed parts, do you think there needs to be one on the back side or will it be ok like this?

All I need now is my little Sausage back

Wow, you owe him now, that looks lovely.

Yes and I'm sure Sausage will love the extra space to play in

not sure id want to stick him in a storage box !!why dont you buy him a proper cage?

This is bigger than a cage Unless I got a hamster heaven or something but they are expensive. He won't know its a storage box!! And he still has 2 real cages to play in



This just means he has extra space to run around in/for me to spoil him and buy him new toys

i dont understand why he need a storage box?

Well both of Sausage's cages are quite small, so instead of buying a new cage I am attaching a bin cage to his 2 cages so he has more space

The bin cage is quite massive, you can probably see its the width of the door nearly

It's his alternative to a hamster heaven

Storage boxes make great cages - I made them for my hamsters when I had them. They're larger than a lot of the cages, and I even made double-decker ones using Rotastak tubes to connect them.

Yes, that's plenty of ventilation - mine just had a front panel and that was ok. I did put the mesh on the inside though, as they will chew the plastic and that minimises what they can reach.

One of them is still in use: I removed the wire panel and it's now a cat bed!

Yup they are the cheap alternative, and you could even work it to make levels aswell!
