Betty,

Those are great!!! I had a stash of insulin bottles that were over ten years old! I'd collected them when I was married as my ex was diabetic. Considering we've been divorced over ten years I'd say I am the packrat Cat!!! I knew they'd come in handy for something - just took me forever to put them to use.

I have a co-worker who is diabetic so he saves his insulin bottles for me. You might try asking around at an elder-care day center or maybe if you have friends who are in the medical field? There is also a company that sells the polystyrene test tubes on eBay...I bought 100 from there and they come with plastic end caps in various colors - I just asked for all red ones and I then drilled a little hole in the end for the hummies.

Here's a photo of the end caps - you can see the little hole I driled into it.
