Building & Plumbing a Rodent Rack

[amon]

I found some trays at some restaurant supplies stores here, they are used for busing tables. The size is 20" x 15" x 6". I'm thinking of keeping 1.4 in them, but would they be big enough for 1.5?

I think the 6" height may be a bit too high for the mice. I'm thinking of putting some kind of "stool" at the side which they feed so they can reach the hardware cloth (I always find this name funny, we call them something like "wire net" around here..hehe)

[twh]

do the busing trays have ridges on the inside? if so it's a place where mice can chew.

you could keep 1.20 in a tub that size.i agree that those tubs are too deep.a step for drinking would have to be non chewable and heavy so it stays in place.

the above mentioned vision tubs are just the right height,my bud keeps 1.9 mice in his.have fun !

No, the trays are very smooth inside, won't have to worry about chewing.

1.20!!! sounds like I'll need to add some little blue pills in their diet you think the male can handle 20???? or is your male ego talking (just kidding).

but anyway, I just saw today first hand that someone keeps 3.25 together. His observation is more than 2 males and they won't really fight, maybe mess with one another only once awhile.

I really have to do something about the height..maybe put the food in container inside the tray.
