After reading a chapter in the Barker's book about cleaning and husbandry and water bowl maintenance, I felt completely "called out" by their "wet thumb" method cleaning being totally ineffective. Basically contaminating and re-contaminating over and over.

And besides, who really wants to sanitize a large number of heavy water bowls week after week every time you change the water.

I finally got motivated and ordered some of those 16 oz deli cups that fit in the water bowl.

A case of 500 cost me $38.99 shipped. Got here in 2 days, although they are pretty close to me, down in VA Beach.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up to the good source.

Been getting my cups from Foodservicedirect.com for over 3 years now ... I have an account with them and they make ordering and billing super easy for their customers.

Good post Brad!

By "wet thumb" do you mean handwashing? I put my water bowels in the dishwasher. Having two bowels and only one snake, this isnt really a pain for me. Plus it's a little more envirnomentally friendly. Just wondering, Are those made of styrofoam?

I also get unprinted newspaper sheets for substrate for my larger cages and tubs.. and centerfold paper towels for substrate of my shoeboxes, and for general scrubbing of all cages.

Borrowing would mean that I had the intention of returning them! :D
