Ok here goes...
I have to keep live mice and i buy at least 10 at a time i have i think they are 10 qt plastic bins (1.00 at walmart) to house the mice until its their turn to be dinner (dont worry they get really good care until then) but i am using old tuna and cat food cans as water and food dishes and they either throw all kinds of shavings in their water dish or deficate in it i tried buying the small 4oz water bottles to put on the side but my tubs are too short for the fountain nozzle that comes off the bottle. I am at this point changing their cage bedding at least every 3 days. I dont have room for anything bigger than what i have now but didnt know what other people do to keep the cage less messy from water bowls ( or maybe i just have pigs for mice) Would love to either get some advice or see what others have done to kinda get some ideas. And also i have seen some different setups for food. (is some better than others?) I of course have bowls and they kick a lot of it out (they get a seed and pellet mix) is there any way to keep it from being wasted so much?
Also has anyone tried housing mice in the 3-4 drawer bins from walmart? i wasnt sure if they could get out of them.
