Eyren Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 My three bantams regularly pull their glug off the run hooks and/or half-fill it with kicked bedding, so I was wondering if I should get them a superglug for the summer? Has anyone tried it in an eglu run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 No, but I was thinking the other day of trying this too, for the same reasons you've given. I would be interested to hear what people have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_W Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 My Superglug is in my eglu run. It's fine and fits just like a normal glug. If you put it too low, then they just bend their necks to drink. No that they ever use the bloody thing, they much prefer puddles or the bird bath! HTH, Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondinho Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I've got one in mine too - I hang it off the end panel as that is the only bit where the mesh is straight. Again though, my bantams aren't really interested in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucky1 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I have a glug attached to my cube pen. I didn't have agreat deal of success with them drinking from the teats. Apparently they are meant to be drawn to the red underside of the teats but they never seemed to get the hang of it. Much preferring to drink out of our pond. I got to the stage where I was worried that they weren't drinking enough so I ended up lowering the glug so they can drink out of the top.This isn't ideal - but they seem happier with this. Now that omlet have changed the clip part at the back of the glug it is better. The glug will hold alot of water - particulary good for weekends away. The downside is that it is still a bit fiddly fitting if full - some people do refill with a hose though. Hope this sort of helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
