Where do I find some good/cheap nipple waters?

bullpup95 - Will check them out.

BellevueOmlet - How much would 75-80 nipples costs? I'm mostly wanting them for my grown birds.

Neil Grassbaugh is a board member that sells them the cheapest I have found.

I bought my nipples on eBay. They are the push-in type and I bought a drill bit that the seller also offers on eBay.
I haven't had any problems with dripping, and I've ordered from him 3 times now.
My water bottles are from Target and I just clip them with a carabiner onto a drawer handle that's screwed onto one of the posts. I keep the drinking spout open to avoid any potential vacuum that would prevent the water from coming out.
I fill them up and refrigerate them in between rotating them, overnight, etc. When I go to check on them during the day, I add some ice (since it's ridiculously hot) and just swap out the bottles with cold and fresh ones. It works great! They like the pink bottle best and they all want to drink out of that one at the same time. I think I could probably raise them an inch or two now that they're getting so big, but they seem to be doing okay with it as it is.

Wow What an awesome idea!!

What is the person's name on Ebay? A friend of mine bought some off of ebay, but I don't know who?

Why do you all keep asking about this and pushing different sales sites?

The forum doesn't get anything from him, but you get confidence from buying from a member. He has also helped several members set up watering systems.

I bought mine from Neil. I wanted to be able to ask him for advice if I needed it and so far he's been very helpful (even though I have yet to install the nipples).

I bought two 360 nipples, and two ragular nipples from BellevueOmlet. I wanted just a few of each kind to try out. Then I will order a whole bunch if I decide I like them.
