How long can a baby live in 6 quarts? :)

By "very tight" she means small. Babies do better with limited space, bigger scares them.

x2. When I got my two normals, I had them in too large of tubs, and the one refused to eat (although the other was a hog and ate a ton). I switched them to tubs half the size of the ones that they were in and they both ate as soon as I dropped the mouse in each tub.

Good info! Whatever I get, I'd like the ability to use some different sizes. :rolleyes:

I use 6qt hatchling rack with heat tape :gj:

Looks like a rack with 6 quart tubs is the way to go. Thanks for all the responses! :D:gj::snake:
