    New Rat Rack Build
    Ok well I want to build a rat rack, but I don't want to use mortar tubs. I feel for some reason that there isn't a whole lot of running room. I have mine in big sweater bins. I have them proper outfitted for ventilation and what not, and with food hoppers. The problem is that they are kind ugly and are cumbersome, and some are starting to chew out. I want to build some kind of rack but I was looking for some ideas in terms of the tubs that I could use that are slightly longer, and slightly taller. I don't want to use anything that is too big because size does matter. Lemme know if you guys got any ideas.

    Instead of using the small mortar tubs use the large one they are 36x24 and will run you abut $11 at home depot.............perfect to make a rat rack.

    hmmm...

    Your tubs do look a lot bigger compared to a lot that I've been looking at. Most of the tubs I see are really small, and I just didn't like thinking about the amount of room they have. Where did you find those tubs freakie frog?

    I would only do the small ones...

    the large ones had recesses in the handles I didn't like.
