    Re: Watering system.

I'm wondering because I have a ton of those bottles and I also seem to pick breeder males that like to chew on what ever they can pull into their tubs. They have blocks in there to chew but give them a water hose an they'll goto town on it in a second ha. So was just wondering if any of you do it this way? Hope I made sense I tend to ramble, an didnt wanna hijack someone else's thread
    I don't think it would work because the bottles need to have a vacuum or else they'll leak. If they were attached to a gravity feeder, it couldn't hold that vacuum.

    The auto water systems has clips that prevent the tubes from being pulled in. Otherwise I would have the same issue as you with rats pulling in their water lines.

    Here are the clips
