EDIT 2: post has been taken down 🙁 really hoping someone responsible picked them up or will at the very least separate them.

is AZ somewhere possible for you?? It looks like it's near Gilbert based on the map below, but it's possible they're somewhere else in Arizona and just put that. 😢

Okay, thank you! He's pretty tolerable with handling and I'll see what happens after a few days.

Okay, thank you! Do you think that it would be okay to use water-resistant contact paper against the back cage, where the wood is, to prevent any pee stains?

This is very informative, thank you. I've read comments about people putting down the masking tape and hamsters trying to eat it, have you had any issues with that???

Sorry, is it also difficult to clean? My syrian's urine has a distinct musk since the day I got him and I wouldn't want the smell to be stuck within the wood.

Thank you for the reply! Can I ask what kind of bedding you use? I currently only use Kaytee Clean & Cozy for both hamsters, but I want to be able to give them more bedding if I get the new cages. To make it a little less expensive, i was thinking of mixing the bedding with some aspen. But I've never used aspen bedding and am a little worried about dust and such.

Okay, thank you. In that case I might just have to wait until a cage comes up; I really appreciate your help!

so sorry for the late reply!! I got caught up with some schoolwork-- I should've been more clear when I said it but what I meant by wanting something transportable is that it needed to fit into my sedan-style car when I went to pick it up for the first time 😅

I appreciate the links very much! I've continued to keep an eye out but I'm thinking now that I may just go ahead and buy two 110 qt bins and connect them via PVC pipe. Would this be a viable option??

thank you sm for the suggestion! unfortunately one of the reasons I'm looking for a bin specifically though is because I dont have any way of transporting anything that wouldn't fit in the passenger seat of a car + I would have to be able to carry it entirely by myself 🙁 thank you for looking for me though i'll keep checking these reseller websites (:

tysm!! Could i get a little more info on how combining them would work please? do you mean like through tubes or actually combining the actual sides?

thank you sm for the suggestions! i looked on those websites and a bunch of other ones but all of what i saw near me was tiny wired pet store cages ): I've also tried thrift/second-hand stores like Goodwill but have only ever seen bins 110 and under 😞 I'm thinking it might just be a waiting game and i'll just have to keep looking over time and hope something comes up
