Answers:

You do know what you're getting into, right? I would really advise you not to breed them, because it can get really out of hand. Soon enough, you'll have babies everywhere. By bins, do you mean plastic storage containers from a Target or Walmart? I've seen people do it, but it seems a little risky. I would worry about them getting out, and having respitory problems from the enclosure. Especially if you're having tons of babies running around, you'd need a really really really big one. I would adivse you not to.

Yes bin cages are great are great for syrians. and they are pretty easy to make if you have a few basic tools.

My bigger concern is that you are wanting to breed hamsters with out being sure of what kind of housing to provide. Do you know how hard breeding hamsters is? There can be many problems with breeding hamster including canabalism (mother hamsters may eat the babies for many different reasons). Please do some research before you breed, it's not as simple as sticking a pair of hamsters together and waiting for babies.

Below is a website that has some good breeding basics as well as intructions (and lots of pics) on making a bin cage for your hamsters. Good luck and enjoy!
