Upgrading the bin!
by freckles24 Mon 21 May 2018, 6:27 pm
Wooh exciting news! I have had a lot of trouble getting my 6 mice to bond but last night I put them all together and this morning they were all piled in their house sleeping together! Previously Thistle and Eden were in a 10 gallon and Willow, Fable, Moo, & Lyla were in a Sterilite bin (~470 sq inches)
Since Ive had them (about 6 weeks) every other day or so i would put all 6 in a neutral bin for them to play. The older girls Eden and Thistle took a lot of convincing. It wasn’t until last week that I decided to move Thistle in with the younger mice. Then yesterday when I was cleaning out their cages I put them all together again in the neutral bin and it went so well i decided to take a risk. As I said before it is working out! I dont know if itll stick or not Eden can be pretty sassy.
Today I decided they needed more room immediately and i went out and bought a 50 gallon bin. Ive been looking for a used 40B but no luck on that yet and they are so expensive new so the $25 bin it was.
This is about 855 sq inches of space! Ill add pictures when i get it set up.

Walmart! Haha I looked at places like Lowe’s and Home Depot but I like the color of this one and the latches. It’s also made for stacking so it’s sturdy.
