Re: mice rack tubs
It depends on where you have the water supply. If the water is coming down from the top, they're a little too Deep. about 3 or 4 inches deep is good unless you have another way for the hoppers to reach the water sippers.

Im using the mixing tubs with the water valve on top and having no problems, they jump to the top and drink upside down.

Re: mice rack tubs
If you make the sub deep enough there is no problems.
Make sure you buy them all at the same time and place, cuz like nix said they are all different now.

I just picked up 42 mixing tubs from home depot for $3.80 each

Lowes sells them for $4.95 each, so I am returned the first 8 I bought.

I've seen that too, but I'd be worried that not all of them are strong enough to get up there. Of course you could stick a brick or a chunk of 2X4 under the water sipper just to be on the safe side.
