Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Automatic watering systems for mouse cages...
We are considering putting in an automatic watering system for our mouse colony and are looking for info on prices, reliability, etc. The nightly replenishment of the water bottles is getting old. We are using standard lab style cages and want to add a watering system to what we already have.
We have nearly 500 cages arranged on 4 racks.
Anyone have any info or know of a URL I could visit to give me some information on this sort of thing? Best case scenario would be someone nearby to Tallahassee, FL to install this for me, but I know that is just a pipe dream.
Thanks for any help you all can give me.

Thanks Gene.
I'm still not sure which way I am going to bounce on this. I'm looking at complete rodent racks such as Freedom Breeders as well. I may take out an entire section of cages and put in some prefab racks with auto watering instead. I bought a bunch of polycard (supposedly!) cages from Maryland Plastics years ago and nearly all of them are disintegrating. So since I have to replace those bottoms anyway, I might just as well put that money towards something else.
But I am still weighing my options.

I bought Freedom breeder rodent racks a few months ago and have had quite a few problems with sticky valves. I now use the FB racks as spares and holding bins. I use big water bottles for my mice, and 2 huge bottles for my rats and they last at least 10 days. Now all I do is fill water bottles every week.
Oh Yeah, I havent had the freedom breeder rodent racks for very long, about 5-6 months. but have had at least 10-12 occasions where the valves stuck and let watter seap into the bins.

Hey Rich, if you buy the parts, I'll swing over to Tallahassee to help you install it LOL... I'm stuck in Panama City for the next 4.5 months or more...
