hi everyone :) im trying to figure out a homemade dripper that works right now, because the Zoo Med "Little Dripper" was $13 :eek: so if anyone has suggestions i would love to hear em :D and sorry ive had so many questions, im new to this :eek::eek: :p
 
Search "Drippers" using the forums search feature, for several great ideas.


The easiest way would be to use a 32.oz Gatorade container, or equivilent and poke a pin hole in it, and away you go.

I use a 1 liter mt dew bottle with a small needle hole in the bottom with no lid. It works great and lasts a long time. If you buy the little dripper you have to adjust it as it empties, with a mt dew bottle its constantly the same flow.
 
I used to use 1 gallon milk jugs. I put a small hole in it so I could stick in a piece fish tubing. with a needle valve like they use on a fish tank. You can adjust the amount of water coming out and the total cost is about 1$. Also offer a lot of water on demand. The only reason I changed was I have an automated dripper system for all my cages.
 
Sorry my friend, he has updated his site. He used to show how to do it on there now I cant find it on his web page either. Sorry!

Jay do you have to give away all my toys?? The only things I have automated are the drippers, the misters and the lights. I still have to feed, clean and watch and watch and so forth.

Awesome Laurie, maybe you can help me do my next set up make over. LOL :D I have the auto lights and misters but need the drippers.
 
hahaha! Hillarious :D I think that's what a lot of our wall plugs are starting to look like - between the lights, the timers, the heat pads with thermostats...

Man, this thread is really awesome and is helping me a lot. Right now I have a paper cup with a small hole in it and seems to be working just fine but the problem I do have with it is that it looks ghetto, lol! I think i'm going to go with the first idea in the thread and make it look really nice. :D Thanks guys!;)
