Re: Rack thing--Back heating?
i would reconsider not using tubs,urates and fecal matter will seep into crevices and cleaning will be a pain (and not very santiary).
i wouldn't go smaller than a 41qt. for lg. females,remember the FLOOR space is only 13" x 30".
i have built several racks that might work for you.they are ten levels high with 41,27 and 12qt. tubs which are all appox. the same height.each opening of the rack is 5 3/4 x 35".in each level you could have one 41qt. sideways, or one 27 qt. sideways and one 12 qt. lengthways or three 12 qt. tubs.in a 10 level rack you could have 10,20 or 30 tubs. or any combination.
IMO belly heat is the only way to go for balls.have fun!

Adult females need to be house in 41 quarts tubs (33 1/2"L X 17 3/4"W X 6" H)
As for the heat belly heat is more efficient than back heat (back heat = heat loss).
