    What size of containers for racks ?

    Ok, so I'm getting ready to build my racks, but I'm still confused on sizes. I read a lot of threads but everyone gives the sizes in "qt", hell I have no clue about "qt", lol.
    Should I have two sizes, small and large or 3 sizes with medium ?
    Could u guys gimme some size specs in inches on which ones to get ?

    It's common to use three sizes. Take a look at this link. The 1754 is used for Balls up to about 400-500 grams. The 1756 is used for Balls from 1,000 to 1,500 grams, and the large 1956 is used for Balls over 1,500 grams. Rubbermaid makes comparable sized containers as well.

    Nope. It's perfect for all sizes. These are animals that spend the majority of their lives tucked in small holes underground.

    walmart, target, big lots etc... they all carry the tubs, just shop around and you will find a good deal. I get the 1960 41qt tubs from big lots for $6.

    Target has the largest selection I have seen so far for tubs.

    Stop and Shop actually has the 41 qt now for only $6.99 which is pretty good.

    Would Sterilite 66qt or 74qt b way too large for adults ?
    Either 1995 40x20x7 or 1996 44x20x6.6 ???

    I'm asking cuz I wanted to add some hide to the enclosure, but 41gt would b really small with some hide or hides.

    No, that would be fine for an adult especially if you add hides.
