Lab cage lids.

[stangs13]

I want to get the lab style lids to put on the hardware cloth of my tubs(22in long about 10-12 in high) so i dont get any wasted food. Where can I buy just the lids? And do you think weaners can reach the food from the tub floor at the height I already typed? Hope that this is understandable.

My weaners barely reach the 6 inch height of my rack. I guess I dont know what you mean as in lab lids.

If you wanted, you could make a food hopper drop down from the lid using the 1/2" hardware cloth, I have several lids for the sterilte tubs made up that way.

They are the lids that go on top of the lab style cages.

That is a really good idea. Thanks!!

That helps alot! I will do that from now on.

yeah, I've been doing it and it is just fantastic, it also protects the plastic water bottles from chewing

I bet it does! Perfect for ASFs. My water bottle is already on the out side, so the water wont be an issue, but with my next-4 tubs it will be done this way!
