I am cutting down my breeding operations with the goal of having 3 males and 3 females. I know that's a bit male heavy, but I have certain colors I am breeding for right now. At most I will have three bins in use for rats.
I keep my rats in homemade bins as I like them to have more space than a typical breeding rack provides, and I just don't want to bother with building an entire rack.
The problem is, the water bottles make way too much noise. I spent a couple of hours trying to find a silent water bottle, with no success. From what I can tell, the valve-based watering systems people use for rodent racks appear to be pretty quiet.
Only question is, can I set up a watering system and just hook it up to three sterilite tubs somehow? Most of the watering systems I see are hooked up directly to the mesh in the racks, which is not connected to the actual tubs. Would connecting it to the tubs be too much of a hassle?
