    RAT Rack n Roll.... Cue style!
    So.... here it is!
    Seeing as my collection has grown considerably, it was time to build a rat rack.
    Rapture and I (with SOME help from our male counter parts)...;) Constructed two of these!
    I was supposed to deliver hers to her this evening... but we're getting pounded w/rain.... sorry D. :(


    The water system tested like a charm. I opted to put it into the laundry room for several reasons...



    1.The cat's litter boxes are in there and it's already been dubbed a"smelly room" ! :oops:
    2. I plan to run a splitter off of our washing machine to eliminate toting water...
    3. If/when something leaks, it'll hit the tile in the laundry room...


    Special thanks to Cue for the plans... Gonna go move the ratties now! :carrot:


    Thanks for looking! :D

    Looks really good. question for ya... what do you have on the end of the watering system like in the tubs? Normally they have the small ball to stop the water flow, i have always been curious as to how that works for you guys with the watering sysetems.
    Thanks
