Round Plastic Nests- Where to buy them.

Post by HeyItsRaymond » Wed Jan 14, 2015 8:13 am

I've seen these around but don't know what they are called or where to buy them. Are they nests or are they called something else/used for something else?

Thanks
Here's a few samples of what I'm talking about:

Haha yes. The clear plastic ones are hamster balls in my pictures you borrowed (generally you should ask permission or give credit to the person who's pictures the are) and the other is a coconut.

Colt has brought up a good point. Most forum members are happy to share their photos and have their photos used to illustrate a point, but we should always ask their permission first, and it is a must to give credit to them in the post. One other way to handle photos of other members is to simply post a link to their photo.

Sorry about that. I'll make sure to ask and/or give credit in the future.

How did you use a coconut? Can you explain a little more how to set that up? Thanks.
