You can make one yourself, but for the mechanically DIS inclined like me, the Rainmaker Jr. is great. There is also a Rainmaker I that has a pump that can run dry with no damage. The Jr. can easily spray large cages up to 30 ft from the pump and runs off a 5 gal bucket reservoir rather than a direct line to a hose. You get everything you need in their package so you don't have to run all over gathering the pieces for the DIY version. High pressue pump, programmable timer, pressure tubing, nozzles, barb fittings, plumbed reservoir, hose clamps, and a few spare parts depending on what you order. They have various types of nozzles from wide pattern to focused, fine mist to droplet. I've used mine for up to 6 cycles every day, 365 days a year, for years. All I've ever had to do was clean the lines and nozzles. Check for Ecologic Technologies.

My cage is 2.5'x2.5'x4', and my cham is about 6 months old. Thanks for your input.
