Does anyone know where I can get horse troughs in los angeles?

My mom told me no more glass tanks, so now I'm looking for horse troughs. Well if any monitor or horse people in los angeles know where I can get cheap horse troughs, email me. Thanks! Hmmm, I think I will also ask this on the monitor board.

Well,I don't know where you could get horse troughs, but perhaps a reptarium would be a way around your mom's rule.

I don't know... aren't they a little flimsy?

Absolutely not! They work very well for beardies. I was using them for a while, but I did eventually build my own cages to save space. Now I put them outside for the very rare nice day we get around here.

Why not just build your cages instead? You can use screen and plexi-glass instead of glass. I just had one built and it only cost me at most $100. (5'x2'x2').

Me? Build? Ha! I remember last year when I had woodshop...I made a box...I ended up gluing it together. I can't build things.

Maybe you have a more carpentry inclined friend or family member who would help out for a small fee? (maybe a beardie of their own?)
