Building & Plumbing a Rodent Rack

[MarkS]

You mean the rats drink water with bleach??

Yes, about one ounce of bleach per 5 gallons of water.

That won't harm them?

No, such a small amount will not harm them

Or does bleach just kills bacteria and not animal?

Yes, I've drunk water treated with very small amounts of bleach myself several times. It used to be a very common way for campers to treat water from a questionable source. It would kill off bacteria or parasites that could make you sick. In this application it helps keep the slime out of the water lines which could cause the lines to become plugged up which could cause the rodents to die from thirst
