Building another rack... dilemma!
So I am currently keeping my bp's in a rack that holds 32 qt tubs... I am about to build a new rack, but am having trouble deciding what size of a rack to build. I am assuming that 32qt are not going to be sufficient size for my continually growing breeder girls? The dilemma is, I would like yalls opinions on whether to build a rack that holds 41qt tubs and just re lay the heat tape on a few shelves of the old rack to switch them to hatchling shelves, or is 32qt big enough to where I should just build a hatchling rack. The hatchling rack will be much more space efficient as I could stack it on my other shelves, but if the bigger ones are needed... so be it.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

From what I have read, 41q tubs are generally reserved for the largest females and average females do fine in the smaller tubs. I would build a rack that holds 2 12q tubs per shelf. That way once they outgrew the 12 q tubs you could fit one 28q tub in each shelf and reuse the rack (or you could just buy/keep more babies!!!)

Will a 28qt tub be big enough for a 2500g female who is ready to lay eggs? Just curious? Seems like it would be a bit too small for them...

Big enough? Yes but just enough if you can do 41 I would my 2050g female in a 28 is tight.
