    just got it all set up. and going. pics
    just got it all done last night. i now have 30 female breeder rats.
    with in the next weeks i will be building racks to stack them three high. then i would like to get about 30 more females. i keep a 1.5 in the tubs and have great luck with that. i just had tow litters born last night.
    i feed 100% steril lab block just like the rats in labs eat. it is guarenteed to be 100% fresh. as we all know the better the feeders the better the snakes health.

    They will chew through those tubs and with no lid they will be able to jump out...

    I am sure he has lids for them. As far as chewing through tubs, maybe, maybe not. As long as the insides are smooth and there isnt anywhere to get a hold they will be fine in there. I've used similar tubs with success.

    yes i have lids. with holes in them filled with rat wire. i just took them off for the shoot. i have not noticed any chewing as of yet. i will watch out for that.

    in the next month or two i will be building a 15x15 shed in my back yard with heat and a/c , vent fans and windows just for rats. i will post pics as soon as i get it up.
