Plastic tubs

[satomi325]

Satomi, I love your creative problem solving with that tub!!

I'm thinking that if we could come up with a slightly taller tub, racks could just be built different to accommodate the height. Hoppers on top of the cage, water and all that could still be the same.

Thanks!

Most taller tubs are the industrial storage kind. I haven't seen a clear tub that is taller than that. However, the industrial tubs are way strong and thick, so definitely no chew outs w/ those.

Also, maybe try thinking about making a hopper like this.

I want to do it, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Seems like it will work perfectly for taller tubs.

Or perhaps make a well out of the wire mesh top and use as a hopper, (random google image)

If you're not keen on water bottles like mine, I've seen auto watering systems going into the sides of rat housing. I know going in from the top using a deep tub isn't always a great idea(unless using the well idea perhaps)....I work in a research lab and our rats have an auto watering system that go into the sides of their cage. This is a photo from the lab,


Maybe get giant washers or something to insure no chew outs. And have the actual spout attached to the tub...
