    Great lookin rack. Couple suggestions, ditch the water bottles and go with a gravity fed watering system and put the food on top of the screen in the front portion where the water bottle is. You will be much happier,I promise.:)

    We don't feed pellet so the food falls right through, believe me I already tried lol

    And the watering systems sounds like a royal pain in the you know what. Doesnt that mean I have to have a container up top to fill with water? We can't use tap water here because it is SO hard it will clog any pipe in a mater of weeks. We have to replace water spikets outside on a regular basis :( Our water out here eats through EVERYTHING

    Question where do you get the gravity fed watering system? That sounds much better for my ratties than those darn bottles, I really hate hearing those things. They drive me batty....:rolleye2:

    They are bought a few different places but here is one http://www.agselect.com/ED/Category....ID=11&CATID=12
    Basically u need the big tub on top, tank connector, rubber tubing, then the valves... get some Ts in there for ur different levels but it's simple enough
