Van ness litter pans

Anyone use these for mice? I plan on building a 40 tub mice breeding rack and don't want to find out they chew through these tubs. My colony doesnt have any chewers so that should help. Also does anyone on here no where I can find these tubs cheap? And how big a group do you think I could keep in the small size ones?

online usually is cheapest for the smalls.

I use them, I've done so for almost 2 years now and no chewing problem.

I house 2 females per tubs and have the male rotate through them.

I buy them from Walmart.

Wouldn't it seem weird to buy 40 tubs at wal mart?:rolleye2:

Even if it does it does not bother me, after all I pay for them so whatever they might think is not my problem ;)

I also buy my snake tubs from target and walmart (and I don't buy 1 at the time either ;) )

I use the small for my mice, you can buy the concrete mixing tubs from lowes for $1 and hold more mice in them. Then you can use each tub for Mice/ASF/Rats and not just mice.

home depot changed their tubs again they are not flat on the top now

Yea that's why i went to lowes, you can also order them online but shipping is costly!

i think imma just use some cb70 tubs i have like 5 laying around collecting dust. what ratio do you guys think i should use

Are you using them for mice? Because I have mice set up in groups of 8 femles and they dont do well like that. All of the pinkys get stuck on the bottom and die while the bigger ones are on top. Thats why im going to use smaller tubs with only 3 females and one male

If you are using the small cat litter pans just house 2 females per tubs, if you house 3 it will be overcrowded with all the babies and lead to cannibalism
