    My hamster lives in a bin cage and we orded the bin online but the lid was not strong enough for us to cut to put the mesh in so my dad made me a wooden lid with mesh over half of it and it is the most amazing cage, so easy to clean and looks rly nice (thanks dad) : ) i would really recommend bin cages bcs i know that sometimes normal cages can be quite pricey or u just cant happen to find one a suitable size so bin cages are just so affordable and they just make rly great cages. : ) : ) : )

      There is more than one way to do it. A bit more of a investment buying the wood and not using the plastic lid available, but I am sure your dad did a great job...

    If you make the holes for the zip ties first then cut the space for the chicken wire theres more plastic to support the vibrations/pressure of the drill. Also placing the tub against the wall with a small chunk of wood between you and the tub it will help keep the tub in place :)

    Great video. Can't wait to try! Just wanted to say for your audience that it's a deburring tool, not a deblurring tool. If you google deblurring tool, you will not get the tool shown in the video. You said it right in the beginning of the video, but when describing what to do you switched. Burrs are the bumps and sharp edges. Also for people watching make sure to go in the same direction with the deburring tool to maintain smoothness just like she did. You should also really have the bin clamped down or held in place by blocks or something for safety reasons. The drill can get stuck and cause the bin, although light weight, to start spinning.

    There are so many ways to make bin cages. As an adult, I definitely did not use "proper" tools. Kids should always have supervision. But I made sure to be safe the way I did it. I used a box cutter to cut out the top of the bin, no it wasnt super straight of a line but I didnt care. And I actually used an old 10 gallon tank lid that had the mesh top, I cut out the entire thing and then cut it in half (kinda sorta dangerously) going back and forth between using a box cutter and some basic scissors. I wore thick working gloves that I have for doing stuff on my car and I wear prescription glasses (which isnt good but is better than none) 😂😂 but I made 2 bin cages using one mesh tank lid and 2 $15 bins that I got from Walmart with a pack of $1 zip ties from the dollar store. I am not sure of the floor space size actually for these bin cages. I'm pretty sure they arent the minimum for living space but I use them when I clean my mice cages (those are 20 gallon longs with a ten gallon tank topper stacked on the top of the mesh lid) they have lots of space to run and climb and chew and be happy. They are 2 males in SEPERATE cages. I do not house them together.
    Bin cages, if they are big enough can be great for living space, but also it's a nice cage for when your cleaning your pets permanent home.
    If you are worried about your small animal chewing through the bin, you can always get a thicker plastic bin, but there is a likely chance you wont be able to see the pet as well, or just buy a tank, at least a 20 gallon LONG not a 20 gallon high. But *bigger is always better.*
    Tiny cages are horrible, and well, tiny. And that's not good for your pet.
    Please perform proper animal husbandry or do not own pets.

    Just wanted to add this for anybody who’s unskilled like me 🤗 what I did was I bought a cheap, thin iron barbecue grate (for $2 at Daiso, but you can definitely find it in a dollar store). I used a pocketknife to cut a hole in the bin’s lid that was smaller than the grate. I then used some super adhesive glue + tape to stick the grate onto the lid. (Stick the grate from the outside of the lid, not the inside where the hamster is) It’s not as nice as Munchie’s but it’s still functional and stays together! Btw the bbq grate I used was 30x50 cm which allows for a very fair amount of ventilation.

  • @zingiestbug4251

    Loved the video!!! I use $3 tin snips from Walmart to cut the mesh a bit quicker... it makes the snips pretty dull though so I have to replace them every few months but I find it worth it in the end because it saves so much time! Finally I just wanted to say how smart of an idea that other tool is that you used to smooth all of the sharp edges! I will definitely be getting one of those because that is the best thing I’ve seen in a while!!

    • @kaylaw3759
      @kaylaw3759 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      28.5 is too small, the smallest size bin you should get is 105 quarts (or 40 gallon). but you have to measure the floor space and make sure it is at least 450 square inches

    • @ronclark9724
      @ronclark9724 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are 4 quarts to a gallon, so around 40 gallons. 28.5 gallons times 4 would be 114 quarts. Sterilite sells 105 and 116 quart bins... Either should be sufficient for a Roborovski dwarf... For a Syrian I would prefer the Sterilite 200 quart bin, but they are more difficult to find in stores. Not impossible though... Without any doubt whatsoever, the nearly 30 gallon tank will be considerably better than the Critter Trail your Roborovski is living in today...

    Is this bin size good for a syrian hamster? I am thinking about getting one and I found this exact bin.

      Haha Ik I’m late but as long as it’s 600+ square inches it should be perfect for Syrians

    Can you give an estimate cost of the bin cage? And maybe some pointers on where I can get other hamster supplies (wheels, food dishes, toys, water bottles that will work inside the bin cage, bedding, etc) without spending a ton of money because in the next few months I am going to start saving up because as a kid who doesn’t exactly have a job job I’ll have to do some work because my moms all for us buying our own stuff we want. Builds responsibility. Maybe I can start getting some sort of weekly salary by making sure my momma can come home and relax after work (I honestly should be doing this anyways and I feel bad for that) but I intend to wait until next summer because we may be moving and I want to make sure I’ll still be able to even get a hamster plus I do 4h and I normally get some money out of my bunnies. But I would like to get a Syrian. I’ve owned hamsters in the past but after my last pair passed away a couple years back I ended up giving all my supplies to my cousin but even then I didn’t have the proper size cages and this time around I want to give my hammie a good fulfilling life. I understand hamsters startup cost can be a little up there I just want to have a good idea of how much I should save up on the minimum side of things and of course I’ll save up plenty of extra money. I live in the US

      Makayla Ault I spend around 60 dollars just to build the bin cage :/

    • @makayla1432
      @makayla1432 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      linda hmm. I found a 105 quart bin from Walmart for 10.88, with about 605 floor space if I done my math right. And my local hardware has some cheap mesh if I don’t already have enough down in my shed. So I’m hoping I will ultimately have about 20-30 dollars in the cage. 60 is quite a bit😖

    Would you just drill holes into the lid?

    • @MunchiesPlace
      @MunchiesPlace  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No cause it lacks proper air flow and humidity can build up.

  • @MileenaK
    @MileenaK 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Dont use drills, better to use is a welding pen, much more easier, but do the holes outside of the house, the fumes are tóxic

    • @MileenaK

      In my country (Greece) you can buy a welding pen from the dollar store, I bought one for 2 euro

      Robby Dawson if you have other animals in the house (like dogs or cats) that will brother the bin animal I would definitely get a lid. But if not, I wouldn’t bother with a lid.

    what bin is that?

    • @ronclark9724
      @ronclark9724 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Appears to be a 110 quart bin. I prefer the 200 quart bin better for Syrians, over 600 square inches, but 106, 110, and 116 quart bins will be suffiicient for a dwarf hamster, over 450 square inches. The main difference with the smaller bins is their height, the 116 quart bin is nearly 3 inches taller more suitable for a larger wheel. But their width and length at the bottom of the bin are very similar. I believe they use the same mold, they just change the height when making the bins with the same slope. The taller the bin, the top of the bin gets longer and wider...
