Step 1: Purchase a bin (with a lid if you own cats or dogs) from places such as target, walmart, lowes, ikea, mine is from target. Also purchase some nails and a long strip of wood + chicken wire
Step 2: with a sharpie mark where you want the wholes to be (I have a big square hole on the top lid, and a small square hole on the side to give the hamster plenty of air.
Step 3: Using an exacto knife carefully (if you are a kid have parent help!) saw through the plastic to create the holes.
Step four: Cut the wood to size and create a frame to fit around the whole. Nail together and then staple on chicken wire to the frame like this......
Step 5: Wipe down bin with a cloth and mild dish soap. Fill with safe bedding and toys and you have just made a bin cage!
Tip Time! Did you know that bin cages are great if you cannot afford an aquarium! They also offer plenty of floor space. Mine has 465 square inches of floor space! Dumpling loves it :)
