    Water bottles

    Hey ive been breeding mice and rats for a while. I cut back and started buying most of my feeders. Im now building up all my breeders again. I dont use the rack setup thinking about building one. Not till next summer atleast, I use tanks for now. My ? is does anyone know where i can get water bottles for tanks. All i can find are the ones for the wire cages. That wont work for me unless i make some kind of hanger. And that never works out good for me. Any help or links would be great.

    When I was using water bottles (I've since graduated to auto watering) I bought my bottles at Walmart and the tank holders at www.thatpetplace.com

    They sell coated metal hangers for water bottles at Petsmart made especially for glass/plastic cages.

    Those ones are for 8oz, but they have 4oz bottles with holders as well which I use for my mice.

    Re: Water bottles

    If your using ten gallon aquariums the plastic tops that you can get at walmart that have holes in them with a little piece that locks in or comes out, take that out and on the medium or small water bottles throw some duck tape on the end and it will keep it from falling thru that hole. Hope that makes sense other wise i can try to explain better or add a pic.
