Hi again NATZOO,
FR has answered the question on size of water container, I agree with him, although it would be great to actually see them "swim" in the true sense, not necessary....
I use a pond that holds around 35 gallons (not filled to the top), and it`s one metre diameter (39inches), and a Fluval exterior filter to help keep it clean. For the larger waste products, just use a small net to remove them, that should help. The pipe can get clogged up now and again, but easy to unclog. I`m not sure what you meant about the fur clogging yours (which fur)?
I`ve ALWAYS fed a rodent based diet, never had that problem, and they almost always use the pond as a toilet.
The fur on the rodent/s is just "roughage", no need to feed non-furred, I think perhaps your animal wasn`t digesting properly, and maybe the conditions you offered weren`t optimum? (No offense, just wondering)..
Can I ask when you plan to get the monitor, and have you already got the enclosure, if yes, what size, and how`s it set up internally?
