 Sharing my setup.

I thought I would take a moment to share my setup. These pictures are a little old but the setups are basically the same.



This is one of my two breeder dens. I use gravity feed water dishes that I made using an example found on the net. I use drink carriers as hides and feed a mix of rabbit pellets and fish food to compliment the protein.


I now use halved drink carriers for hides and use the pellet mix and Flukers gel as water.



The only hides that I am happy with for the pinheads are the halved toilet paper rolls. Water gel and strictly fish flakes for the pins. I lose very few pinheads using this setup.


Ok, this is scratch built and im a bit embarrassed to list it, but it works better than nothing. It keeps my temps between 84 and 92 degrees and provides night lighting for the cages surrounding it. I’m trying to decide on the best egg medium. Dirt worked well for me, but when I tested sand I had poor results. Im now testing aspen bedding.
