i need ideas for grow out tubs.

[adamjeffery]

so ive been growing out in the tubs with the females but lately my poduction has been so high that it doesnt seem to make sense to continue this way.
i looked at the big concrete tubs at home depot. i use the small ones for breeding tubs. the big ones seem too deep to allow the weanlings to reach the food and auto watering? if i am wrong then it solves my issue. i need ideas so any you have shout it out.
thanks

I use the large ones for my holdback and for grow out and have yet to have issues.

So if I were to build a rat rack for my 4 BPs..(soon to have 4 more).

After I get babies...I want to hold back females and a few males, right?

Sooo to do so, I will want to keep them in one of the tubs on the rack to grow up?

Im learning...so bare with me!!

Thanks Guys and Gals!!

It depend on your needs, I do not recommend keeping male and female hold backs together, I would rather recommend to separate them once they are weaned and make sure the females have a good body weight before being paired with males.

I also recommend not putting males and females together in a grow up tub. Keep them in 2 different tubs. And most people feed off males and hold back females as future breeders. Also keeping more males means more stink. (I find that the males smell worse than females because they're always marking).
