I bought 1/2" hardware cloth from home depot, and cut out pieces, bent them to shape, and presto! Instant food hopper.

If the litters aren't all that big maybe the temps in the cages are higher than you think. Have you considered turning off, if they're kept on, one or more of the lights for a couple of months and seeing what if any difference there is in litter size?

Of course, with summer coming on, if you turn the lights of now you may just keep the temps the same with the weather warming up and all.

If you keep the room cooled though, it might be interesting to see if the heat from the lights makes any difference in litter size.

Thanks for the info.
I only have the lights on when I'm in the room doing maintainance. My litters range from 10-20 pinks.
