How many rats in tub?
How many breeder size rats would fit in tubs that measure 27.5" x 19.75" x 6"?
And lets say i have 1 male per 3 females, when the females are pregnant should i leave them together or should i take out the male and leave all the females together?

Re: How many rats in tub?
I do 1.2 to a tub most of the time but if I'm crammed for room I will do 1.3. I will leave the pregnant moms together until they are ready to pop and then they go into a tub all alone. Other has had success keeping moms and litter together but that's not been the case with my rats. I date all my tubs on cleaning day so I know when to expect a litter.
Hope this helps!

I can keep up to 3 females in that size tub. I also separate my mothers, my girls always nurse alone and do not like any intrusions.

Re: How many rats in tub?
I am really bad with measurements. Is it 27.5 length by 19.75 wide and 6 from top to bottom? If so then yes that would be fine. I use the large rat tubs from Big Apple. I'll look to see if I can find the measurements

I do 1.3 in those tubs. I leave the males in all the time. I have only had one male that killed the babies but he ended up in the belly of a boa.
