Rack Question!

[Alexiel03]

okay so im wanting to get a rack very soon and i need to know how big they need to be for my bps.
the one im looking at has a tub measurement of 22" L x 16" W x 5 1/2" H, my largest bp is just under 2000 grams. would this be big enough or should i get a 41Quart tub one instead?

That's border line. I keep anything 1500 grams and over in a 41 qt tub. I have in the past kep bigger girls in those smaller tubs but its simply been a security thing. I'd move them up and they'd quit eating.

oh okay hmmm what about a 34 quart tub?

floor space is more important than head room. Not Sure what the floor dimensions are on the 34qt but I use 6qt for babies, 28 qt for males and juvi and 41 qt for big females.

I have a 1700 gram female in a 28 qt and I'd say she's due for an upgrade. I'm looking at 41 qt racks now as several of the other girls will be hitting this size next year.

Im in the 28 to 41 quart also.
Once over 1500g Females get moved.
