A little late to the party, but I just started my hamster care journey and I decided to use a bin cage. Totally worth it! My only gripe is that the cheapest bin I can find in my place is translucent so it is a little hard to find my hamster when she decides to sleep in her burrow. But hey, it's better than keeping her in a tiny cage or inadequate aquarium.
@katherine9616 4 жыл бұрын
A new way I have thought and am currently using to attach a lid to my diy cage is the baby proofing cupboard locks. They are easy to use without having to create any holes usually just stick on and can go round corners to hold something down enough a hamster can’t move it. My lid is to heavy for a hamster to move but I have knocked it so it want completely secure before so this gives me peace of mind that they are safe.

For UK owners, I can definitely vouch for the Asda bin, linked in the description. We got one as an upgrade for our dwarf hamster, and she's more active now than she's ever been. You can fill it with a deep layer of bedding and lots of toys - the cage even has wheels on the base, making it easy to move around. Also, it's worth watching Erin's DIY shelf for hamsters, which is so easy to make and adds another level to the bin (if you're looking for materials, Wilkos do a telescopic drying rack that works well/is cheap!)

We decided to not wait until we needed one since they do take planning and time to build:).

If you don't have a lid for your bin cage (or cage in general) try using wire shelving from Lowes or somewhere similiar. They can cut these to size so it's cut perfectly to your cage. Use Velcro to keep the lid secure if you need to, however the shelves are fairly heavy themselves

Well, a good start is to send your parent’s this video. If they still won’t buy you one, try proposing something to your parents in exchange for doing more work around the house. I’ve done this and I proposed $5 a week. They decided to give me $20 a month, which is a little less, but the amount of money I get amounts to $240 a year. $5 a week seems like a small amount of money to your parents, but start by proposing about $7 a week, which will amount to $365 a year, but say $7 a week instead of $1 per day. I hope this helps you. Good luck!

Aww... It's too bad that you're not reading the comments anymore! ☹️ If you did read them, I would tell you that the very first video I watched of yours was the old bin cage video...and I've been hooked ever since! I made a bin cage for my very first hamster, Nutmeg (a Chinese). It was quite the learning experience! I learned so much! Since I live in the US, I went to Walmart and got the largest bin I could find - a 50 gallon! I learned that I'm not strong enough or patient enough to use a knife to cut the windows, so I learned how to use a wood burning tool (if you're planning on using this method, make sure you're in a well ventilated area... And an adult!). I muddled my way through the project and I'm happy to say that it served Nutmeg well! It now houses Daisy (a Syrian). I just wanted to say thank you for making such excellent and entertaining content over the years! Sorry, I'm not on Twitter. 😉👍

If you can’t find wire mesh I would recommend using eggcrate, it’s something that’s usually used for ceiling lights but it has sizable breathing holes and it’s pretty easy to secure to the lid, I’ve used both silicone and zipties to put it down (although both work I highly suggest zipties) and it’s also pretty cheap, last time I bought some it was like $10 at Home Depot got a big sheet that I had leftover of when I was done making my cage :]

thank you for this video and others hamster videos. by watching your videos. I got rid of all of my Habitrail cages. By watching and learning from you. I will become be best hamster owner. Right now I don't have any hamster, because they past away by natural causes. I miss them, but I have to wait. When I first I was in mourn mode when I first saw your hamster video about bin cages. I decide you are right about those Habitrail cages. They are too small for hamster. Now I am saving up, so I can make and get a large bin cage and large wheel and other things that I need for a hamster. I am so ready to get another hamster now. Once I get the correct bin cage and wheel and other things that I need for a hamster then I will get a hamster again. It feel empty when you don't have a hamster in the house. Thanks for all of your advice. You taught me things that I didn't know. I wish I had your advice when I was child. There are things I would do different. I have hamster since I was child. My mom bought me my first hamster. Since then. I had hamsters all my life. There are things I didn't know that you show me in your video. Like whey they chew on the bars (cage is too small) and why they stop running in the wheel (wheel is too small) and hamster ball (they are dangerous). Thank you for showing me what I did wrong. I am correcting all my mistake. Becoming a better hamster owner. Once again thank you for your advice and tips. You are the best.

Thank you so much for this!!!! I was going to buy an 85l bin cage bc I looked at it in the shop n was like 'wow that looks big enough' n then I saw this video, used all the links to see the different bins and I realised the bins there are 600 and ten times bigger than what I was going to get bc I thought mine was going to be like 600 (bc I'm rlly bad art maths lmao) thennnnnnn I realised it was like 250 square inches which is like the same as a store bought cage which I hate... sorry for the rant I'm just really happy I saw this literally the night before I get the cage lmao

We love our bin cage! We have a hamster heaven, which cost us over 100 USD. We were able to get a Christmas tree bin for 10 USD which gives him over 900 sq. in. of interior space. He loves his home and we love watching him in it. We still want to give him more space, but we struggle with space in our home.

PUT A LID ON THE BIN CAGE!!!! Hamsters are fabulous escape artists and they will get out! My hamsters escaped a few days ago (luckily we found her) but it was a close call on her life. So put a top on.

Thank you for putting links in the desc!! I’ve been looking for a suitable bin for a bin cage but I could not find any that have enough floor space for a while, but with you links I was able to find a 640 sq inch box for cheap and the reviews say it’s durable! Thanks Edit: im going to start to look for one that is bigger and is 780 sq inch at least but still cheap before I buy anything else so if anyone has UK links to a cheap, durable, clear with a lid 780 or more sq inch storage box it would be greatly appreciated if you could link the website in the replies Also the Argos 800 sq inch in the desc would seem good but it’s a little pricey so I would like something cheaper around. £30 at most

In the 90s I had a hamster with a multiple habtrail setup (the original habitrail designs) which was pretty cool. I have been thinking about getting a new hamster and I googled habitrail and was shocked to see how different their products are now. The cages are tiny! There's no way I would buy them now when a bin cage is an infinitely better idea.

Any 110 quart bin should be sufficient for any dwarf, and a 200 quart bin should be sufficient for a Syrian, in my humble opinion... Bigger is better...

i have a question about unbroken floor space. What if you've got a 600sq inch unbroken floor space, but the area has been filled hideouts placed here and there.. wouldn't that break up the floor space?
