My brother used to live with my wife and me and he used to drink those "weight gain power shakes" - anyways - I used to cut those down to size and use them as hides. They worked great.



Otherwise, plastic ice cream pails (during any of the holidays you can buy colored, opaque pails at any Walmart or Kmart - otherwise, if clear is okay with you - eat lots of ice cream). I don't have a problem with clear hides because my racks have opaque sides.



I know many people use the clay pot bottoms, but I prefer the plastic ones. They come in many sizes and depths and are cheap and easy to clean. Plus, cutting the hole to the right size is easier than trying to crack the perfect entrance hole with a hammer.



Margarine, Cool-Whip, and other empty food containers also work great. The grocery store is a far better (and more economical) place to find hides than any pet store - just keep your eyes open. Remember, your pets care more about function than they do decoration - nothing has to look pretty unless you want it that way.
