If I am keeping little people detained in Perfect Mason's, would 4 or 5 holes punched in the lid suffice to provide oxygen?

I would go with 8 smaller holes. With bigger holes, you run the risk of escape!

Hi Charles, I also collect little people, I do 2 holes per person unless they are plump then 3 holes. Good luck.
1680743
I would assume so. At higher altitudes I would go for 6 holes just in case. Make sure you make the holes large enough for feeding.
1680744
It all depends. Federal regulations require 1.5 holes for each. Of course that is for the standard variety. Miniatures require muslin or a fine mesh screen and require a wide mouth for better air circulation. That allows any hot air to circulate freely.

It depends on how many little people and their activity level. I tried doing 4 holes for 4 little people, but they suffocated. So with my next batch, I doubled it, and they were sluggish, but lived. When my cousin's sister best friend baby daddy got me 6 little people for the anniversary of our first break up post affair and consummation of our relationship (cause he my baby daddy too, duh!), I did 12 holes and they seem to be flourishing. Though... one of the females seems to been eating like a little horse, growing in abdomen size and has been vomiting in the mornings. I think she may have a virus. I hope she lives. Maybe I'll add another hole to be safe. It depends on how many little people and their activity level. I tried doing 4 holes for 4 little people, but they suffocated.

I decided on this purchase strictly on this question and the answers. Thanks to all for helping me decide on this product.

That would probably be fine- just be sure to poke the holes in the lid BEFORE you put the people in.

Just make sure they are separated by sex in separate jars or you will sure nuff have a mess. Take it from me. Lordy Mercy!

I have one of these that I set up as part of a rescue evacuation for first responders. I am almost sure you can not hook up an oxy source to it. That is what I would describe as a SCB, or "self contained breathing" apparatus.

Even if they somehow can't manage to get through, unless you get the lid they will be able to climb out. They will most certainly fit out the the spacing though.

I successfully used it with half pints, just make sure there are Anouilh to prop each other up.

I think so...but the plastic is thick...you'll need to drill them not punch them...they make plastic bags in this size BTW

That's right -- a small hole so you can the tight-fitting lid on and take it off without problems from air pressure. One caution from experience: when you press the lid onto the hot cup, don't have your hand over the small hole, or hot air coming out under pressure will give you a mini-scald.

I would think the 1/2 pint would be ample. Yes, in fact you need to be certain you are out of NO2 before you try to open it for safety reasons.
1821656
Absolutely. You can hook cups through the holes, too, as long as they're kennel or travel cups.

I would say a tiny bit. But the holes make it really easy to get a fire started and keep it going. Great fire pit

Yes, absolutely. Using a potholder is a good idea too, since you may risk being burnt by the rising steam from the lid.

Definite NO. The lid has a gasket and screws on tight. I know they can get into just about anything but these are secure from them. They also keep out the moisture. I use mine for my wood chips for my smoker and have had no problems with them being tight the lid is on.

You do have to tie the fuel squares to the lanterns. I used a cocktail stirrer as a tool because some of the holes were not completely open. Wasn't hard to poke through at all and wasn't much of an issue.

i doubt it....it may keep the cup from being airtight which could result in a failure to suck

He can get his head in there and probably knock the lid off. Maybe you could get a box that has an opening at the top
1725595
Yes, as long as the lid is kept down, it is tight enough to keep them out.,

Difficult to say, but if it was me, I'd get 2 cans to be safe. I don't think you'd need 3. Make sure you get the appropriate respirator. The vapor is toxic

The lids that came with mine have one small hole for air and a larger hole for drinking. Hole doesn't close. The drinking hole is about the size of a penny cut in half.
