    Feeder drinking valves, where to buy?
    Hey everybody!
    Was curious where you all are getting your rodent drinking valves from? Does anyone know a cheap source for the most reliable ones? I would prefer if you've had experience with the valve.
    The application I'm using it for is a mouse rack. I need about 10-20 valves. I live in Ontario. I used 1/4" hardware cloth. I kinda wanna use the flexible lines that are sold with the connectors. I also need the connector to attach the bucket.
    If you could do you think you could ballparkthe price too please?

    Thanks, Jeremy.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Also what exactly do I need? Like what is the product name I should order?

    Thanks, Jeremy.

    here's what I got.

    I only needed 6 valves, though so you'll have to determine exactly what you need for your own setup.

    just send them an email , they responded pretty quickly for me.

    P.S. I specifically told them to ship USPS instead of UPS. I never use UPS since they'll usually try to add on some brokerage fees or some other fee. They're scammers in my opinion, but you may have better luck with them. just my 2 cents.

    Thanks a lot guys!
    I know brass is a softer metal, anyone ever have any problems with the rats/mice chewing them up so they don't slide anymore?

    I don't think you'll have any problems with the brass. so far , I haven't noticed any signs of wear on the ones I'm using .

    I see you are in Ontario. There is a place in Ontario that sells all of those supplies for a very good price.

    Give Joyce at Bunnyview a call. Tell her you were talking to me and wanted the small water nozzles for rats/mice (estrom nozzles). She'll have everything you need and can ship next day.

    Big Apple Herp has great stuff. I actually just finished up a rack today using their stuff. Its relatively cheap too. I'd say for everything used to build my rack, including wood/screws, it was about $70-80.
