I recently used this bin to make a bin cage for my Syrian Hamster, it is perfect! It gives about 850 square inches of floor space for her to roam and burrow (The minimum for a hamster to live happily is 450 square inches) while there is plenty of room left over for her toys and hideouts. This is the biggest latching bin I have been able to find anywhere and it fit the bill to a T. Cutting out the four rectangles on the top and adding the mesh was much easier than cutting the entirety of a lid for one of these cages, and still provides enough ventilation. I am recommending this bin to anyone with any breed of hamster and will most likely use them in the future to create more for others. Thank you for this gem, Sterilite! Even if this isn't exactly the intended usage.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect Bin Cage!

I have a mouse named Loki, and I used this as a bin cage. I cut out the front and lid to put mesh in for ventilation, and the plastic didn’t crack. It’s super sturdy and one of the biggest containers I could find. I was able to add layers and tons of toys for him. However I do not recommend this for anything bigger than 2 or 3 mice.

Great snake bin cages!

These bins are hard to find outside of the winter holiday season, but they make excellent bin cages for smaller snakes like hognose, smaller ball pythons, etc. Very sturdy, affordable, transparent (unlike most large bins), and easy to modify for your pet's needs. They would also work well for hamsters and other small rodents!

Great for Storage

These are the best tote boxes I have found to store lots of stuff or bulky items. They stack nicely and the clear sides make it easy to see what is in them and where it is in the box.
I really wish I could find more of this containers.

Great for storage and moving. Only problem was when I tripped and my over 210 Lbs fell on top of it, it busted lol. We use a lot of these for storage.

I have so many Christmas lights so I bought this to store all the outside Christmas lights in. It’s big, durable, and clear so I can see what’s in it. The handles are nice and lock the lid nicely. Overall very happy with this tote!

Good turtle tank!
on September 6, 2022
Posted by: Apple

I use one of these as a tank for my turtle. With reinforcement of the sides (wooden dowels cut to fit under the lips on the long sides), it works very well. But I do wish they'd make larger (longer) ones, ideally with reinforcement built into the design. And they're pretty much impossible to find in Canada; I paid to have mine shipped up from the USA.
These are pretty much the only option for people who can't afford or move/clean a large, heavy glass tank. Please consider making a version with an extra 10" or 12" of length -- and increasing your Canadian distribution network for this product!
So many people use, or would like to use, these as habitats for small animals of various sorts. Not marketing them through pet-supply stores means missing out on a lot of potential business!
