If anyone is looking to make a good-sized storage bin cage, there are these really large plastic storage bins for sale right now that are made for holding Christmas trees. They are seasonal though, so once they sell out they will be gone until next year.

Anyways, I picked one up tonight from Fred Meyer for $30, and its dimensions are roughly 52"x20"x14". I'm going to use mine as an outdoor home for my Russian Tortoises (on my patio), but I think it would be really easy to make it into a hedgehog home. The one I got is called the Iris Holiday Tree Storage Box, and can be seen on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846

Here's a photo of my 4 year old playing in it:

LarryT, according to the tortoise forum where I learned about the tubs, they can also be found at WalMart (they just aren't listed on the website). If that doesn't work out for you, here are some alternatives that were posted:

Hope that helps!

First of all, LarryT was right about the actual usable dimensions...I had just posted what it said on the label. And second, since I will not be putting my tortoises outside until the summer, and I had nowhere to store this huge bin, I decided to go ahead and put Ziggy in it for now. We're also trying a Comfort Wheel (his Christmas present) since he only briskly walks on his FS and the little chubster really needs to run.

Anyways, here's a photo of the new setup:
