    Auto watering system for racks

    I just built my first rack and it came out pretty good. I scratched the idea of using regular small animal water bottles. What are the parts I need for this system? I see them on reptile basics inc but theres like a $66 pressure regulator and i was wondering if i really needed that. Are there other systems you recommend? Buy yeah, let me know the basics if you can. Like I said, I'm new to this but I really want to breed my own rats. Thanks.

    Re: Auto watering system for racks

    Agselect is a great site, I wish I would have realized they had better prices before I bought from RBI.

    You don't need the pressure regulator for a gravity feed system, which is what almost all of us use. A gravity feed system just uses a bucket/reservoir at the top of the rack and gravity draws it down the rack to the valves. RBI has an FAQ also.
