Hi I have seen alot of you use Vet tape for the pvc piping (DIY) playstands. Are there any AUSSIE'S out there that can tell me where to buy the Vet tape from? Or know some US companies that ship internationally. I can't seem to find any. I have tried Google. Which brings up tape for horses, which I am assuming is the same stuff you all use. Any info will be great.
Much appreciated. Thanks.

Hey, i used vet tape for fargos pvc stand and its fine, we have horses so just used theirs, it was the Roma brand in different colours :)
the only thing is after 3 months with his nails its still all fine and not coming off, but the top has become a bit hairy, so will have to rewrap the top :)

Big produce stores will have it :)
Also look on ebay, there is a seller on there who sells it.
I have been looking into making my own shower perch and was going to use it as grip... however when I went to bunnings, the guy in the plumbing department was STARING at me :/ so I tried to look quickly but just felt weird so I left.

Any vet will also sell it. As you know it isn't actually tape but a wrap and they tend not to call it vet tape here. Just ask for wrap.

I got confused looks when I was asking two of my friends to get me some and called it vet tape (3rd year vet students) haha.

Its the same thing I use at work too. I work at United Blood Services so if you went in to donate and told your phleb. you wanted some wrap for your birds...........They would surely look at you like your nuts but I bet they would hand it over. :D
Anyway its not just vet wrap its used on humans too.

Don't know if you have such a thing as Petco over there, pets and supplies..don't use theirs..I bought some from petco and it seems to get really tacky in a short time. It's disgusting to touch and I can see why Jasper doesn't want to touch it.
