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.

I noticed your water lines go up, down, up, down... When I built mine I tried to have them either run down or flat. Curious if you have tested the lines and if you get a solid stream of water out of the valves

gravity will cause the fluid to push the fluid...no worries, not the best for pressure but it will work as long as the water lines don't go above the bucket.

If you keep them in a garage or something... not so bad. I wouldn't keep them in the house. Mice are not bad, rats however stink it up much faster IMO!

you got it backwards...mice stink worse than rats
I use baking soda under the bedding to lower smell.
easiest way is to just breed asf or gerbils....both smell much less than mice.

I used to breed gerbils on a wholesale level. The only problem is that they don't do well in a colony set up and the female only produces about six babies a month.
You also need to keep them paired for life because they are prone to not getting along if introduced as adults.
