hey guys, im getting my ball tomorrow and its 3 feet long. i was wondering what size rubbermaid would be a good dimension for a permanant home. Can you guys tell me the dimensions, price range and where to get it? im in canada.

Try Canadian Tire or Wal-mart for cheap rubbermaids.

He could easily live in an 11 gallon rubbermaid (er...I think it is now 13 gallons or something since I think they discontinured that and it now has a "hi-top"), if you wanted to decorate or just wanted something larger you could also go to something slightly larger like the sterilite underbed units (they are about 32"x12" I think???). Like Big Mike mentioned, both models can be found at Crappy Tire and Wal-Mart

The 22 x 17 x 6 would be good for a male. I would personally get something longer for a female. You can cut out a section of one end and put in lexan or glass to give better visability for you. Also, you can cut out a part of the top and pop rivet some plastic mesh for ventalation and then you don't have to drill a bunch of holes in the sides which takes away from visability. Just a 3 x 5 vent is plenty.

3 feet? And probably skinny too right? The 26.4L or the 42L Rubbermaids would be perfect!
