Rodent Watering

[Binny]

Hi,

Building a rodent rack for Rats and Mice.

Im looking for some advice on where to buy these hose fittings that plug in to a bucket ?

Im located in Sydney...Had a look on bunnings, im just stuck...I dont even know what they are called...

Any advice would be great.

https://www.avidityscience.com/water-systems/animal-wateringpossible this is what you're after, or a compression fitting to put a tube/hose around a pipe?

i'd strongly advise against tube setups...

unless you're using stainless steel pipes, rodents will eventually chew through the tubes, and you will always have leaks somewhere at some point. a 1L leak from a bottle will not drown your rodents the same that a 100L bucket would if it leaks into a tub.

1L Hard plastic bottles with drinking nozzles are the way to go IMO
