Wire Mounted Food Hopper & Waterer?

[harldane]

I've been looking online for a plastic type wire mounted food hopper and waterer but haven't had much luck.

I really love Omlet.com's Grug & Glug containers (http://www.omlet.co.uk/shop/shop.php?cat=Chicken Extras&sub=feeders&product_id=162) as they seem so sanitary, easy to use, and elevated out of the way, but I'm not sure if they can be purchased separately in the US yet. I think their Super Glug with the nipples is ingenious too - if it works!

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could find any similar items in the US - or how to make them myself?

Thanks in advance!

Here's a wire mountable feeder. I have one for grit and oystershell and love it!

I got mine at Mills Fleet Farm but they carry them at Petco and Petsmart too.

You can use any sort of water bottle like Lixit for wire cages.

My girls learned to use it really quick I just had to show them how to use it. --Uh not by example though

I just dribbled a little water out and they came over to investigate.

Omlet has a US website. At the bottom of the UK site switch the country to the US and contact them for assistance to buy it locally.

Thanks Ella & Roost, both good ideas.

I just need to take a moment and call Omlet....it's been crazy this week!

Has anyone used this soft drink bottle waterer? It looks interesting too - if it works.

Thanks.

I have a tiny version for my little wild Junco Spike. The only problem with it is it's hard to clean. If you replace the bottle every week or so I think it would work fine.

Thanks Ella. Yeah, it looks similiar to what I remember growning up when my grandma had parakeets and cockatiels.

I actually found what looks to be the same thing on another website for only 83 cents EACH: http://www.gundogsupply.com/-4449-2-.html

For that price, I can buy 1/2 a dozen!
