I don't have alot of experience but I think the tubs look ugly. If I were to ever get tubs I would at least put a plexi glass. BP may hide all the time but in they are not surrounded by opaque wall. I don't think it can be ignored that an animal with site needs some visual stimulation. To me putting a pet in a newspaper lined plastic tub with a water bowl and two hides is more like storing them. I do like the custom made plastic and acrylic enclosures thos I would display in my house not plastic sweater boxes.
