New rat rack
This thing just makes life easier. Food hopper and automatic watering is the way to go if you plan on raising your own rodents.

Sweet! It almost looks like you used measuring devices this time.

Now THAT explains it! Now where can I find someone to barter my charm and wit with? Although now that I think of it, I probably wouldn't be able to get much in the deal...

Re: New rat rack
Jamie,
Are those tubs the ones from Lowes, Home Depot, or somewhere else?
I am thinking about a rat rack now, and the tubs at home depot looked sturdier, but the braces they have in the lip look like they would "hang up" on the wood rails .....

Neil,
Those are the MacCourt Products model # AT2606 concrete mixing tubs from Lowes. They seemed really cheap and breakable but they are pretty sturdy and slide well in the rack. I know others recommend scrapping the mixing tub idea and using the jumbo (or large, i am not sure) Van Ness cat litter pans. They have a similar footprint but take up less space because they dont have sloped sides. Hope this helps!

Re: New rat rack
OK thanks, I was worried about the ones from Lowes because of no bracing, but looks like they are working fine.
When I started this I told myself there was no way I was going to start breeding rats ... but our biggest local supplier here had water/swamp cooler problem this summer and is out of business. Rats are getting harder to come by and more expensive all time.
