    I didn't know you could keep rats in just any tub like that. I thought they would chew through the sides

    So after realizing the rats that my fiance picked up were still way to young to breed (thanks Bryan!) I had to separate them out. I didn't want the male to be lonely and now I have 2.4 in separate tubs. Thanks to monk90222 for hooking me up! Here are some pics from today.

    The 2 males. One getting an ear cleaning by the other.

    Rat in a tube. This is a common occurence over at 8 Ball :P

    Anything is possible but many people are using them successfully. I give them a lot of stuff to chew on.

    Very nice, Jamie! I can't get over how straight you cut those lids. I would have thought you would have used a rusty pair of toenail clippers. :P

    My reputation precedes me! Sweeeet! :D

    Nope, I now use the tools for the job as long as those tools don't do any sort of measuring or leveling.

    lol, Maybe I should use this design now. The little boa is out growing his shoe box. Great idea

    What Jamie has done here with these tubs and the hardware cloth cutout area is for rats and wouldn't be appropriate for your boa. Hardware cloth is likely to give you endless problems with humidity for a snake as well as being an issue for severe nose rubs. It's the right stuff for rats however as they can easily chew through lighter mesh materials.

    Nice group of ratties you've got there Jamie. Looks like a good group to start on the road to breeding your own feeders.
