Rat Tub Question

[ss10gotanks]

I have my rats in 50 qt heavy duty tubs. Currently I have 2 females per tub and im cycling the male to a new tub every two weeks. Do you think 2 is the right number? what number of females per tub would yall reccomend?

my rat rack uses concrete tubs that measure 20x26x6 and i have 1.3 breeders and they have plenty of room

ditto that.. I use cement tubs, 1.3 with babies in the tubs. No problems with overpopulation.
