I use white plastic vents that you can get at Home Hardware ( I haven't found any at Home Depot or any other stores, buty I guess you can egt them at Rona as well). They are round and come in 3" and 5" sizes.

Hey,
Do the vents come in rectangular shapes or does it just come by circles? Also, how much do they cost?




Thanks,
Ben

Some people use the large rectangular wall vents, but they are metal and I prefer plastic to metal in enclosures for several reasons. The plastic vents only come round, and they cost between $1.29 and $1.99, depending on where you go ;)

Home Depot has rectangular plastic vents. That's what I plan to use.

I use 4" round PVC drain covers for vents in my cages.
I get them at Lowe's and Home Depot. They cost about $1.50

Metal is metal... it doesn't mix well with several types of cleaning agents such as bleach (I don't use bleach, but still), it can rust if the finish comes off in cages that have medium to high humidity, etc.
