Hi all,

http://www.livefoods.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=637

Do any of you use these?

I am looking for housing for four 1.3 groups of multimammates and a 1.3 group of rats and these look pretty good.

Not paying NKP prices (even if they are 5 mins drive from me!)

Where does the waterbottle plug into these?

Any pics of them setup?

Thanks in advance!

Gary

See now I considered that as I have plenty of ikea tubs, but faffing about with the mesh and having to fit the bottle etc really put me off.

Any pics or tips?

Cheers

Gary

Just drill a hole in the side for the bottle 'nose' to go into and two small ones for the wire to hold the bottle in. Cut the mesh with scissors. Alternately build a stack like EggMan's, I will be doing something very similar soon.

Im thinking I may have to!

How do you create the 'opening' in the mesh? For feeding etc!

Also how would you attach the mesh to the top?

Trip to B&Q tomorrow methinks!
