    Why do you have dividers in the tubs?

    P.S. Nice looking rack.

    If you use predried wood when you build it it will not. I have built a couple in the past that were four wide that did sag a hair. So now we only use dried treated wood.

    can you post a pic of how you did you food supply set up? (trying to see if you fabricated, cut and closed the food box) or (bent the wire to make the box)

    thanks.

    We dont use a food box. We feed a diet of 4 different pellets. The Mothers with litters get pellets on top and also a smaller dish with a higher concentrated feed in a dish that has a higher amount of protein , calcium and lower sodium content in it . The grow out tubs also get different types of food and also some put inside the tub itself. the only tubs that do not get food inside the tubs are the breeder racks. We have found we save alot on food waste and get bigger healthier rats faster in a more cost effective way. Our litter yield is an average 15-18 this month. I'm sure there are other ways but this works for us and significantly cuts now on smell and produces healthier rats for our snakes.

    AWESOME rack, very neat and tidy.

    Can you show what you use to hold the tubs up in the middle, what the tubs actually slide on?

    I have had a hard time getting something that is easy to use for in between my rat tubs, I use the home depot mortar tubs, both the big one and the small one.
