Gatoraid IV dripper system

This is how I make my cage drippers, hang a 64oz Gatoraid bottle from the
ceiling, and let gravity to the rest.
I cut a hole in the bottom of the bottle and hot glue, or epoxy, and short
piece of plastic tube, or something to connect the tube to.
Then I get some clear 1/4'' ID tubing, put a cut-off clamp on, then a "quick
disconnect" so it's easy to take down and fill, then a stopcock to adjust the
dripping rate.
Another piece of tubing leads from the stopcock to the top of the cage.
I cut the tip off a 3cc plastic transfer pipette, and stick it in the end of the
tube. Put a hole in the screen, stick the pipette tip through, and keep it in
place with a wire tie:

Looks great Stan!!!!!
But Why is there a towel covering the light fixture? That scares me....

LOL! it's perfectly safe, they like to lay on it when they are out, it keeps them
warm. I put the towel on it to make it more comfy, and so they don't slide off
the slick metal :)
When on the free range, they can get cold, so they know were to go to
warm up.
