DIY Playground for hamsters

Done by vanillaicecream

Hey peeps, I has been trying to build a connecting bin play ground for my Scabber and finally my project is successful.
So, wish to share with my fellow ham lover here.
I use
1. A bin ( not very transparent, but very big and nearly 3fts long)
2. A box cutter.
3. Big cutting knife
4. Ruler
5. Gloves( to protect my hand from sharp edges)
6. BBQ mesh ( I got quite a good quality one from neighborhood party accessories shop)
7. A marker pen (to mark a measure spot)
8. wire cutter
9. metal file (to trim down the sharp edges)
10.some tubes to connect with the old cage ( I use Habitrail OVO Tubes, because its a suitable size for Syrian)

Just a warning especially for ladies that are not very handy with DIY stuff like me, its really tough
Its took me nearly a month to finish this project, because I have no clue what kind of  materials should I use, how to find them and worse of all, ur arms will be very tired and it can be a bit frustration at some point LOL
But it really worth all the trouble
I am very happy with my handy work, and my little guy is having a blast exploring his new place.


This is the bin that I use.







Long ruler, wire butter, box cutter, gloves, knife and BBQ wire mesh





Cut the wire mesh to desirable size.





Mark it, and start cutting with box cutter. This is the hardest and longest because the plastic wall won't cut through easily. I have to use the box cutter repeatedly in one spot then finally break through with sharp knife.Then move onto another spot.






Finally done!







Final look ! Still a bit messy, I need to use better quality tapes to secure those grills.

Now all I need is to hunt down some fancy toys to decorate the new playground!
