DIY Feeder Racks (Mice & Rats)

Now available in downloadable PDF files

Mice Rack:

Warning: This mice rack DIY is for the old style Van-ness Litter pans.

The new re-designed litter pans (regardless of their size) are no longer suitable for breeder racks of any kind due to their curvy shape.

A Rat Birthing Rack will follow soon as well as a larger Rat Breeding Rack, so stay tuned for more! ;)

You already had them as PDFs on your site for some time now, I took your plans and am in process of building the rat rack.

Thanks Deborah!:gj::gj:

I had to modify your plans as I used the bigger utility bins from lowes. I've built 3 of them now. I also found out the 2X3's cost the same as 2X2's so I used them for the legs and since I was able to use two screws through each leg into the frames I was able to eliminate the cross bracing. Now I am building an auto watering system for it as the boss (wife) is tired of messing with the water bottles. Probably should have taken pictures from the beginning, so we could have added it to the basic rack plans.

awesome deborah! I also hadn't been to your site yet. very nice and professional... :)

Thanks Justin I appreciate, I am not a pro by any means when it comes to Websites but I think I did not do too bad ;) (just another of my pastime).

What does your watering system look like on this setup? Do you just use water bottles?

Trust me it is WAY worth it, it's getting old to fill up water bottle everyday, and with a growing colony not really practical anymore, and when I am out of town I don't have to worry.

Yea thats a great point!
