For all of you trying to find a good dripping system, here is an idea.
The challenge, a) don't want to poke the screen on top of my cages. b) don't want to spend much on it. c) The commercially existing ones are expensive and cheesy,
So here is what you need:
1. A soft plastic container, like the ones for yogurt, sour cream, etc.
2. I bought at pet smart an air connector kit, ($5ca, has 5 valves so you can make 5 drippers) The only piece you'll use is the valve with a regulating knob at the top. If you could find the valve by itself, It will be even cheaper.
3. Water
So poke a small hole on the container, and insert the longest end of the valve, make sure the hole is smaller than the with of the valve, so the valve opens it up as it is inserted. This way the hole will be tight enough not to leak.
Add water and regulate the drops as you like, I placed mine on top of the cages and right above the plants, so the cham can drink right from the leaves and the excess of water drops on the plant pot. You can add an air hose if needed to reach the spot you like.
On the last image you can see the dripper in action! If you still have questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps.
