Here are some pictures of a home made bin cage I made.
It is too small for an adult rat but is good as a temporarily cage for young ratties or quarantine.
As you can see, I can't cut a straight line ....
Edit: If I were to do this again, I would not put a grid in both long sides
One end:
Other end:
Finished cage:
Changed the side panels as the small grids got too dirty. Used cookie cooking racks as the side, end and top wire.
Normally all grids would be on the inside of the cage to prevent or limit chewing of the plastic, however, this grid is so heavy I decided to place it on the outside.

Thought I would post a few pictures as (imo) I improved the shelf in my temporary bin cage.
The shelf is covered with a dollar store dish drain tray cut to fit and attached with zip ties
EDIT: Small bin cages also make great carriers …. see picture in post below
