What size tubs are mostly used in mice racks? HxWxD
And how many can you put in each tub?

Depends on the rack, I use 14" X 10" X 3½" tubs, housing 2 females per tubs and rotating the males

I use the medium sized petmate cat litter pans ... not sure on the dims off the top of my head ... i run 1.3 and have great success!

:D

Hope this helps.

I can get some 15" x 12" x 5" tubs from walmart pretty cheap I think I will build a small system with them!

Well, I like roomy enclosures so all my tubs are 26x15x10. :) They just love their wheels.

Thats about the size I am using now, I wanted to get a small system going to save a little space.

Ah. Well, to save space I intend to build a 'rack' for those tubs. Granted, I only have three trios plus a few grow out tubs...

If I ever went with smaller tubs, I'd reduce the height but nothing else. With two litters, even those tubs get really crowded.

I was thinking about getting tubs that are the same size except the depth of them to save a little room.

I just bought a few 20" x 13" x 5 1/2" tubs from walmart, They are sorta big, What ratio would work best in this?

Those are about the size of my tubs and i've had the best luck with just 2 females per tub. I've been rotating my male around, and it leaves good room when the females have their litter.
