Hamster housing: store-bought cage or a big DIY bin setup?
Background
Commercial cages ventilate well, assemble in minutes and come in plenty of styles, which makes them easy for first-timers. A growing number of keepers prefer large storage-bin builds, though, because hamsters love to burrow and roam, and bins allow more floor space and deep bedding. It is a trade-off between room, budget and convenience.
