How to Make the Perfect Small Animal Cage - wikiHow

I was hoping that some people from here might be willing to improve it and/or possibly get it taken down. Maybe we could petition to get rid of it or something. I don't know. I'm editing it as much as possible without getting myself banned from editing as I've almost gotten done with regular wiki, but I want to get this deleted from the wikihow system. I just got rid of the part where it says to use a wheel, but of course the rest of it is absolutely horrendous.

Basically all that needed adding was a line I added:

This type of cage would be suitable for a hamster, mouse or gerbil. It is not appropriate for guinea pigs or rabbits.

Make a C&C cage (google it)

Thats what it says under tips, and warnings.

These are directions on how to make a bin cage for hamsters, which is great! Not guiena pigs though. But it is an easy mistake I would have thought so too if I hadn't read on.

Edit- Well Ly fixed it LOL! Sorry bout that!

Thanks! You're a genius. Well, you're at least smarter than me. I kind of also feel stupid for reading the title completely wrong. I don't know why, but I thought it was exclusively about guinea pigs.

All I did was add a little editing of my own and put some warnings and tips in. This type of cage is really good for hammies, mice and gerbils though.

After I posted earlier, I went and fixed some more things.

Just with that simple edit, you probably saved a few guineas and bunnies from living in a tiny bin cage!

I sure hope so.

I probably didn't do much but I DID add this line:
