Cant' find a Water Weasel....

[kiaya611]

I have searched the net high and low under "Water Weasel" and the only reference is either to a Feret, a flute or some kind or from a web site selling chicken hatching supplies. Since this is a child's toy, I thought I would be able to find it at Toys "R" Us or Wal-Mart, Etc.

Does this go under a different name? I need help locating one.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

It's usually on the junky toy wall with stuff like Silly Putty. I got mine at a discount store called Rose's and it was called a Water Weiner, LOL.

Ok....I gotta ask......what do you use these things for????

 

[kiaya611]

You put one of these things inside your incubator and put the probe of a digital therm in the middle ot it and then the idea is that you are reading the temperature of the middle of an egg. I have heard good and not so good things about it. Being that the prob is in the middle of the "egg", it will take much more time to register a change a temp adjustment and you have the possibility of over or under comensating them temperature thus damaging or killing the eggs. One the other hand, in theory (and I say in theory because I have never tried it before), you could get a very accurate temperature of the inside of the egg. Here is a website that has them on it and explaines them. They sell them also, but they are expensive:

I think the ones I got at wally world were called water tubes. Usually find them with the water guns, pool float toys, etc.
