What kinda of Water Bottles to use?

[Jyson]

If your using a glass tank, you can easily fashion a waterbottle holder out of hardware cloth, and hang it on the side so it doesnt matter what bottle you use. I have done that for many of my ASF's bottles, and they worked very well. The only thing to make sure is they cant sit on top. It just annoyed me to clean poo and pee off the top, so I made it as close to the top of the lid as possible.

What type of wiring do you use to tie the hardware cloth together? I know of some types of malleable metal wiring that contains lead, which wouldn't be good for the lil boogers.

I use a glass tank and made one of the food hoppers to fit my water bottle. Then I took out one column almost to the top for the sipper, I just stick it in and the bottle slides to the bottom. Works wonderfully!!

Cool idea, I'll give that one a try as well. Thanks.

It depends on how you house them

I use plastic bottles for my rodents (those who do not have watering system) and I use those

So no worry about chewing and those bottles are sping loaded so no leak.

Ah, okay. I completely forgot to ask if I can place them in one of my rodent rack systems, so that works out pretty cool. But for the most part though, I will be housing them in the extra glass tanks I have.

Thanks yall.
